Immunity to being Frightened

Some spells like heroism say they make a character immune to being frightened.  Does this remove the frightened condition or only prevent frightened from applying to a character?

I would say yes.

I'd say it removes it.

 

Like being made immune to fire when you're set on fire, becomes less of a problem, except for charred pants.

I'm leaning more toward removed especially after reading this rule in the condtions section.

 

A condition lasts either until it is countered (the prone condition is countered by standing up, for example) or for a duration specified by the effect that imposed the condition.

Some spells suppress existing conditions for their duration, while making you immune to new sources of that condition. The calm emotions spell is a good example of this.

 

Other spells end existing conditions while simultaneously making you immune to the condition. Unless the spell says otherwise (see calm emotions) assume the condition ends.

If it doesn't specify anything further, like Barbarian Berserker charm/fear protection does, if you become immune to something, you also become free of it.
