No, only Catholic cemetery and we are not allowed to pray for departed non-Catholics. Everyone outside the Church is not saved, meaning no Purgatory and no Heaven.
I think Vatican II messed with how indulgences work. I believe they recently moved the date because Modernists would rather follow the world than force the world to obey the Church
AI answer:
> Paul VI in his 1967 apostolic constitution Indulgentiarum Doctrina, ... responded to suggestions made during Vatican II and substantially revised the practical application of indulgences. The reform aimed to shift the focus from mechanical calculations of "days" or "years" of penance—terms that had led to misunderstandings about time in purgatory—to a deeper spiritual disposition.
it's here to read (note that I don't consider Paul VI to be a pope or this encyclical to be authoritative therefore): https://www.papalencyclicals.net/paul06/p6indulg.htm
afaik there was no need to make such a "reform" as it was previously somewhat recognized that they don't necessarily refer to literal days or years (they also excessively apologized to protestants about "abuses of indulgences" I think)
