The Church teaches that there are many saints in heaven whose names we don’t know. The Saints that the Church affirms are in heaven are martyrs and those who have been examined under the guidance of the Holy Spirit who has led the Church to declare them Saints.
I, and I believe Melian also, believes that Charlie is indeed in heaven with Jesus and worships now in the beatific glory of God.
We have slight differences in theology regarding this, but we can recognize that Charlie was a warrior and martyr for God and have faith that Jesus has him now.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
Abject Faith in Christ is sainthood (small ‘s’)
All other ‘sainthood’ is anthro-progenetic.
We are all beggars [before God]...everyone.
