I don't think the other 2 posters got to the point well enough so let me sum it up:

Even if a weapon were to have 0% status chance, corrosive damage on that weapon would still achieve a 75% damage bonus (for corrosive and anything else the target is weak to) on ferrite armor (but less on shields) when you attack a grineer lancer.

The status chance only determines the chance for a status effect to proc on hit. Irregardless of status chance, elemental damage still hits the enemy's health after modifiers such as resistance and armor.
