If a Non-Catholic reaches the age of accountability and dies will that person go to Hell for not being Catholic?

No, but that person may still go to hell for any number of reasons or go to heaven. Being Non-Catholic is not a sin. I was raised Catholic and still practice my faith, but I do know that in the past it was a popular belief, not taught by the church, that only Catholics went to heaven. We still haven't lived that down.

I not a good Roman Catholic, so I'm going to cop out and say only GOD really knows, Sorry. (If cornered - I'd say yes.)
Non-Catholics go to heaven as often as Catholics, I guess. Each person does what GOD needs done, according to their gifts.

Only if they have heard the Word and not responded accordingly and accepted Jesus into their lives. It is not being a catholic or a non catholic that saves you but believing in Jesus and all he stands for.

I think that's the general gist of it (although I'm not sure, I'm an atheist) but I think that if they are generally sinless (or at least not guilty of any of the seven deadly sins) they will just spend a long time in purgatory rather than actual Hell according to Dante's Inferno.
