God is the one who knows the hearts of all men. He decides. Not anyone here on Earth.

Roman Catholic Answer

Christ's centrality in the plan of creation, and its restoration through redemption, is fundamental to understanding God's plan and the end of the world. Angels and men received an intelligent and free nature. When I am told (by those who confuse predestination with God's providence) that God already knows who will be saved and who will be damned, and therefore anything we do is useless, I usually answer with four truths that The Bible spells out for us:

1) God wants that everyone be saved;

2) no one is predestined to go to hell;

3) Jesus died for everyone;

4) and everyone is given sufficent graces for salvation

from An Exorcist Tells His Story by Gabriele Amorth

Thus, every single individual must decide for himself whether to love Jesus. God does not decide, He gives us free choice and respects that choice.
