Is my anthurium chonk rotted? And if so, is it salvageable?

I ordered this warocqueanum seedling online and received it in early December. At the beginning of January, I realized that the soil (orchid bark, perlite, sphagnum moss, a little potting mix) wasn't drying out quickly enough, so I checked for root rot. I chopped off the rotted roots and repotted the seedling in a new mix (tree fern bark, perlite, sphagnum moss), and let it be. I also cut off the pale parts of one of the leaves. Tonight, I can see that there are minimal roots left and the chonk is completely brown and soft (1st pic). The leaf that I had pruned has fallen off (2nd pic). Is there anything I can do to save this seedling? I was going to relocate it to just pure sphagnum moss and not water it for a long time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
