I feel that normally, she wouldn't be. But after "scattering" Ise's demonic power, her own grew quite a bit, so it may be now. That's how she got her Extinguished Star after all, which is extremely powerful and can do more damage to Grendel than Ise could initially.

However, we know that simply being Ultimate-Class in terms of power isn't enough to actually be promoted. Ise is a prime example of that.
