I agree. Just to let you know the word is gravid when referring to a fish the lays eggs.

She looks like she is full of eggs, but I’m not sure if her eggs are fertilizers.

It takes a male to fertilizer a females eggs. Without the male, the females eggs will not hatch.

The eggs are fertilized outside the body so they arent fertilized

My bad, you are correct...

It still doesn’t guarantee that the OP will have fry. There are a lot more factors that go into it, and it is actually quite complicated.

This is a good website I have found helpful: https://www.aquariumnexus.com/pregnant-neon-tetra/

If you do not have soft water it will not matter, the eggs will not hatch in hard water.

Gravid is the term used for female livebearers with developing fry inside them.
Carrying eggs is the term used for female egg laying fishes that have eggs in them.
Spawning is the term used when egg laying fishes shed their gametes (eggs & sperm).

It can be used for both so i highly disagree.
