There's 2 things to consider to get the right answer.

For starters, the term 'hell' comes from the Greek and Hebrew words 'Sheol' and 'Hades', both which refer to the common grave of mankind (even animals). When people go there they return "to dust", a.k.a. break down to the bare elements they were created from and cease to exist. (Ecclesiastes 3:19-20) During this breakdown process, the person feels/knows nothing, completely unconscious. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6 & 10) The idea that hell is a fiery place of torment run by the Devil is a doctrine that was drummed up by clergy (who were inspired by pagan religions) to keep parishioners in fear. It is not a Bible teaching. The majority of those that die that are righteous (along with those that die before learning anything about Jehovah God or His principles, a.k.a. "the unrighteous") will be brought back to life on Earth. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28-29) Only a select few of people will go to Heaven, all which are handpicked by Jehovah and Jesus. (Revelation 14:1-4)

As for being saved, one must live a life in line with Bible teachings and due so to the end of one's life. This increases one's chances of being saved. (Matthew 24:13; Zephaniah 2:3)

So in short-Everyone that dies goes to 'hell' (except those that are going to Heaven), but if they're good/innocent or have no knowledge of Jehovah they'll be brought back to life. In addition, there will be righteous people that will survive Armageddon and will never experience death at all. (Proverbs 2:21-22; Revelation 7:9 & 14)

That depends... If they believe in Jesus, they will not go to Hell. Some parts of God's word are guidelines, that God KNOWS that none of us will ever be able to follow. If they don't follow any parts of God's word (as in, they think it's all crap) they will go to Hell, because they are not saved by Jesus.


Will you go to hell because you are not Catholic?

Anyone who rejects the Catholic Church will go to hell because the Catholic Church is necessary for salvation.

If they are, it will only be through Christ and His Church.
