Maybe? There’s the cat scene, but we don’t know if it was a pet or not

No, but meat and fish from the food industry were obviously used in the production

There is gore, but it’s a combination of being stylized ala a Giallo and just not being well executed. There is one scene where a butcher is feeding offal to seagulls where they clearly used meat industry products and it’s therefore very realistic, and a scene during the final act where a nun is disemboweled that are both pretty gross. The nun scene is very heavily signaled.

Elizabeth leaves her grandmother to burn to death and then regrets her actions. There isn’t a category for elder abuse, so this feels closest since it’s a relative

She was lied to and manipulated, but not for the purpose of causing her to question her sanity. It was just to cover up something, and lead her into finding the truth.
Gaslighting is a specific abuse tactic, in which the abuser constantly denies their victim's reality, so that the victim questions even their ability to discern reality, making the victim even easier to manipulate, and less able to fight back because they constantly doubt themselves.

No, but nuns whip themselves over the sound of a child crying, which I found triggering.

Honestly it’s hard to tell that the prop is supposed to be a cat, but you can tell it’s meant to be a dead mammal of some type. It’s not realistic at all, nor is it ever identified as a cat or pet

While visiting the woman that Elizabeth has realized is her grandmother, after she asks her not to call her by her birth name, nuns show up very suddenly and set the house on fire. Elizabeth abandons her grandmother and leaves her to burn. She gets out of the house and douses herself in water, but is horrifically burned and dies in Elizabeth’s arms

Elizabeth beats a nun to death by slamming her head into the floor repeatedly. We see blood and brain leaking from her skull.

At an hour mark she'll spit out a raw fish, some gagging sounds, but not straight up the act.

Frequent throughout the film, though the gore itself is not usually shown, but blood is: for example, a woman is stabbed multiple times, and although we don't see the knife penetrating, water is shown carrying her blood away. A man is shown ravenously eating offal.
