I don't think so. I think they will be judged on how they lived their life.
This is from a Christian p.o.v., well, my version of it.

The Bible hell is the grave, so yes they do. False religion claims hell is a place of fire and torment where God punishes people eternally for the sins they committed in a mere lifetime here on earth. If you believe that, you don't know God at all and you have not read how he felt when people were burning their own children alive at Jeremiah 7:31. God is love and everything he does, he does in a perfectly just manner. That would be totally out of character. Anyone who dies, not having a chance to know God will be resurrected--that is why the Bible says there will be a resurrection of the "righteous and the unrighteous".

Wow, I looked for an actual answer and couldn't find any in the responses to your question.
Okay, I was raised Catholic and Mormon I married a man from Assembly and I am now..well.. a believer.
God out lines in his word for just this type of problem. They are considered "Children" and as such all good Children go to Heaven!
When you meet a person who has never heard of God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit why in this Universe would you believe God would punish such a person? I am not asking you this question, it is just general!
You have so many people on this site that just don't have a clue and only answer to insight anger in people.
Have a Great Day!
Blessed Be

I know I won't get best answer for this but I believe the truth has to be said. Christmas was moved to Dec 25th by the Roman Catholic Church to convert those who celebrated Janus's birthday in the Roman Empire. This was done in the 400s.
Hell is a Christian concept. Whatever is left for the afterlife hell is specifically meant for Christians although other religions have have a different form of it. Norse witches refer to a place called Hel (name similarity, hmmm) but it nothing like what Christian hell is like.
The point of all that is you cannot go to somewhere you don't believe in.

In the bible it says they shall all know the truth and still there will be those that turn away. I interpret this as , we have a loving and caring God and it is not His will that any should perish. I see Him as the Savior of mankind and if someone has never heard of Him or His teachings then I feel He sees them the same as a small child who knows no better. God is not in the business of sending souls to hell. In fact He leaves that up to an individuals choice.

If you're not a Catholic doesn't mean you'll go to hell. Heaven is a place of goodness and what do you do to get there? do good. It's so simple yet no one wants to do it. Your sins have done nothing but bring you closer to the devil. Do you want to burn with him and live eternally with God? I am not forcing you to believe but I'm trying to make you see that being good has its rewards and being evil just brings one step closer...below...
Do not lie, do not cheat, do not kill, do not steal, do not insult or in summary do NOT do bad deeds for this is just gonna bring you down and you cannot escape the torture that will some upon you and no one will save you. Catholics can go to hell, Non-catholics can go to hell too but there is a 50/50 chance that comes for us so we will be able to go to heaven. The decision is up to you not me.

I believe that according to Catholicism they go to purgatory, where they can then go to heaven. I'm not a Christian, but I have read the Bible and work for an interfaith organization. Hell is a punishment, in Christianity those who have not heard of Christ are not punished, purgatory is a process, and a logical one.
So they don't go to hell, but I do. I'll hold a seat for you...

Thats we have the Great Commission to go out and seek and save the lost, Jesus will not come again until all have heard that if you accept that he died on the cross for our sins and ask Jesus in our hearts that is the only way to heaven...plain and simple.
