No. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states,
About Judaism: "The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant. To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ"; "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable."
About Islam: The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day.
About other non-Christian religions: All nations form but one community. This is so because all stem from the one stock which God created to people the entire earth, and also because all share a common destiny, namely God. His providence, evident goodness, and saving designs extend to all against the day when the elect are gathered together in the holy city.
With love in Christ.

Proper Christians/Orthodox, do not condemn people to hell. For anyone at all to make such a claim is reckless, presumptive, arrogant, and just plain wrong. Such judgements are not our call.
The final destination of our souls rests in the hands of God, and God alone. It is not proper for human beings to grant one passage to heaven, or condemn one to hell.
The fact that one might not be Christian does not guarantee condemnation to hell. It is possible for one NEVER to come in contact with Christianity, and yet, live a Christ-like life because God's Word is written in our hearts.
Long story short, it's God's call. Leave it up to Him.

Catholics (nope) they believe that every one according to his relgion will go to heaven (I had a catholic friend who told me so), while Orthodox believe that only Orthodox will go to heaven, and I believe that whoever believes in Jesus as his savior and master of his life will go to heaven

yes they believe in that but what they don't know that they are the group which will going to be burn in hell for worshiping a human called Jesus instead of worshiping the god himself who created Jesus and created them too.
