Think about this -
What happened before just 2000 years ago, before there ever was a gospel of Christ?
People lived and died on this earth for many thousands of years before Christ. Like Buddists and Jews, for example. Christianity is just a baby compared to those older religions.
Are we to believe that just because those people happened to be born before Christ, they were going to hell when they died?
How fair would that have been? Where is the compassionate G-d to condemn them to hell without even a hint of a chance of escaping this cruel fate?
Or to refuse heaven to a very good person who, although living a just and ethical life, perhaps just happened to be living in an area of the world where Christianity has not yet arrived?
Thus, I seriously doubt that anyone will go to hell just because they didn't hear one thing in particular or study a particular religion.
I think that only good, kind and loving people, and that means good people from ANY and ALL religions, will be able to go to heaven.

The same thing that happens to everyone: They cease to exist.

They will end up where their own minds conceive, lest the father spare their souls from desolation

If they're on the road to Nirvana, will it matter?

I believe they will be judged by their acts, by their humanity, by their charity, by their deeds.
