People who strictly follow the path of Buddhism and Hinduism attain Moksha. This means that they are liberated from the cycle of rebirth. Moksha is kind of like heaven.
Edit: Someone find that offensive? Why? Correct me if I am wrong.

You are assuming that belief in Jesus has any bearing on what happens after death. This is the dogma perpetuated by Christianity. Depending on the 'flavor' of Christianity, this perceived 'truth' changes. For instance, Roman Catholicism states that to get to heaven, you MUST be a member of the Roman Catholic church. Thus, all other Christians are damned. Baptists believe that you must specifically ask Jesus into your heart, thus being born again, or else you can’t enter the gates of heaven. (in other words, all Roman Catholics are damned) Some Christian groups believe that god has written the names of the "Chosen" in the book of life. If you name is in the book, then no matter what you say or do, you will go to heaven, if your name is not in the book, then no matter how good you are or how faithful or devout, you will go to hell.
The conditions for getting into heaven change from Christian group to Christian group. That's one reason why I left Christianity behind a long time ago. I don’t know what is to come after this life, but I am sure (100% positive) it has nothing to do with someone sitting in judgment of me, and even if it did, given a choice between the hypocrisy of modern Christianity and actually trying to do the right things, I choose the latter.

They go to heaven. Since they didnt really actually sin cuz it didnt exist yet they gt to go to heaven. After all Jesus sacrificed himself to save people: past, present, future as it says in the Bible.

That's the question, isn't it ! If, these people, millions and millions of these people are barred from heaven as suggested by exclusionist religions than, for me, that would reflect on any concept of a loving and perfect God. Of course, critics of my answer would say : 'How do you know the mind and workings of God." My answer is, simply, I don't, but my kind of God would have a basic sense of fairness.

How do we know by believing Jesus that we will go to heaven? OH MY GOD! Seriously you are one close minded person. What kind of a question is this? Is it supposed to be absolute that Christianity is the right religion? Jesus Christ man...

There will be a time of Tribulation where the dead come alive, its in Revelations, for I think 1,000 years, and during this time people that haven't converted have the chance to.

ive wondered about this myself, and i came to the conclusion that if every one went to heaven b4 jesus than jesus' life condemned ppl more than it did save them cuz that would mean that ppl only went to hell after his life, so i would say according to the bible, no they didnt all go to heaven
