Save edit. Clifton's expanded the cult before while Kate was away in the narrative, so having him as the Apostle makes sense.

Who are we to argue with the rules of the game?

Besides you are all missing how perfect it it is. Cat died at the end and is also still alive.

Secret Histories

Even let the ritual proceed as it did. No rewrites. Let this story continue. Either Cat and her 9 lives will be reunited with her headstrong lover or she will fail.

One of the things it provides you is your last promoted cultist, as a sort of instant sidekick. Problem is, our last promoted cultist was Cat Caro, who will therefore appear at the immediate beginning of our apostle playthrough. As far as the game is concerned, Cat is still alive.

Can I split the difference and vote Schrödinger's Cat?

It sounds like we're not voting on the next PC, just which NPC from Kate's run shows up first. Reveilled's storytelling has been excellent so far, so I'd rather they pick the NPC based on what works best for them, and I agree that Cat dying because Kate's research was insufficient is a great Lantern ending, which would be a vote for Save Edit. But Schrödinger's Cat is hilarious, also thematic, and has story potential, so if it can be worked into the apostle run somehow...

Kate did see Cat die.
Cat saw the ritual differently, and believes that she is alive.

These high-G injections have some serious side effects after pulling so many jumps.

Maybe have Clifton do one Ascension and Cat do another? If this doesn't work, secret history.

Everybody saying that save edit is more thematically appropriate is missing the ways in which Cultist Simulator is different from Call of Cthulhu. This is a world where multiple histories can be, and often are, true at the same time, so it's only fitting that Cat Caro be both dead and alive depending on who you ask, especially given that the game mechanics decided that would be the case. Secret Histories.

I'd really like to see how Cat handles being in a different cult/separate from Kate before seeing maybe how someone else might handle running a cult. She's cool.

Secret History.

Her description says that she's "a woman who calls herself Cat Caro". Doesn't mean that she's the same woman. Maybe she's doing it to honor the previous holder of the name. Maybe Cat Caro is a title.

Or maybe she's genuine and the Cat Caro who died was an impostor.

Yeah wasn't there some other guy who died very publicly but showed up again a few days later to keep being weird? His name will come to me.
