3 he is definitely a living god at the time of TES 3, though his means of achieving godhood are not related to CHIM (he used the heart of lorkhan for it.). it is however possible to use CHIM to become a god, as Talos has done that. I think when the heart was destroyed the Almsivi lost their godhood, seeing how the Nerevarine kills Almalexia, and Almalexia killed Sotha Sil.
