Answer:
Yes, one who denies the punishment of the grave while he knows the evidence, knows the evidence, becomes a disbeliever. But if he denies it out of taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence), following whoever said so, or out of ta'wil (figurative interpretation), then disbelief is not attributed to him, but he is considered misguided in this. Yes. As for one who denies it intentionally and with knowledge of the evidence, he becomes a disbeliever, because he is denying Allah, His Messenger, and the consensus of the Muslims. Yes.
