The limits that human remains such as skeletons have as sources of historical information are:

Physical condition of the bones; usually the older, the more fragile and more difficult to study.
The completeness of the skeleton. Usually, skeletons are found incomplete for a number of reasons (anticipated decay of some bones, scavenging animals taking several bones away, etc.) and the more complete, the better.
The information that can be extracted from bones usually limits to: a) the dead person's physical features (height, physical build, gender, etc.); b) evidence of several diseases and/or trauma (injuries breaking bones), c) facial traits (through skull forensic reconstruction) and d) racial group, diet, evidence of toxins through study of he teeth.

From a Christian standpoint, would a Mormon go to heaven? we believe in the same god, just different views of Jesus Christ. like

Illusion [34]

From a Christian standpoint, everyone is a child of God, and Jesus wants everyone to know Him and the love He has them. For someone in a different religion than Christianity, they would have to repent, and convert to Christianity because Jesus does want everyone to join Him in Heaven.
Honestly though, you can’t push your friend. It’s best to share God’s love with him and live like you know God. When you do that, your happiness will radiate. My advice, I would talk about this with your pastor or a priest you are close with to determine the best way to go about it. But if you try and push your friend, it will only alienate him further. Continue asking him to join you at a mass, but respect his decision if he declines. You never know, he might take the leap one day!
