The more concerning possibility is, I think, that a revival might not be possible at all.

Then the calculator merely gives P( my revival | revival is possible ). Which, if we can estimate P( revival is possible ), will allow us to recover P( my revival ). I think I understand that you're saying P( revival is possible ) is unknown.
