Did C.S. Lewis go to Heaven? One of the oddest sites on the net

This has to be one of the oddest sites I've ever come across, asking the question "Did C.S. Lewis go to Heaven?"
"On point after point, Lewis taught doctrines contrary to Scripture. He denied the inerrancy of Scripture itself; he rejected the doctrine of the substitutionary, penal atonement; he set forth an odd view of the resurrection of the body, to name only three. In locus after locus of Christian theology, Lewis' views were un-Biblical and Antichristian." It concludes:
"So we ask again: Did C. S. Lewis go to Heaven? And our answer must be: Not if he believed what he wrote in his books and letters. "
It seems strange that the fact that Lewis readily affirmed the Nicene Creed, for instance, counts as nothing; instead, it seems to present entry to "heaven" by a kind of selective doctrinal checklist of a very narrow kind.
I think they are in for a few surprises!
