Raynor has just left Hobbiton.
Neither am I aware of her been mentioned as part of the faithfuls. That she might have brought the numenoreans out of darkness if she was queen would have been queen is a possiblity we cannot discard out of hand. However, no single mention on remorse or despair on her side is mentioned, about how things turned in Numenor. None. She did no action, that I am aware of, to show her good intentions, openly or not. She knew what Sauron was. She must have comprehended what means accepting him and his teachings. Her faith might have save her, her sanity, her morality. It doesn't look like she had it. She was most likely aware of the numenorean age old faith. Even if she was lukewarm at some point, or worse, she had the chance to turn, when she saw the magnitude the corruption was taking. She didn't. As far as we are aware, she did nothing to save herself (fear at the last moment isn't necessary a sign of repentance either) or her people.
