...and this person never once heard about Jesus Christ, and never heard what Jesus did to reconcile man to God, what would happen to this person after they died?

They would go to Hell.
If you think that not hearing about Christ means you could go to Heaven, then God made a terrible mistake by having preachers.
Think about it.
If God got rid of ALL the preachers, and no one ever spoke another word about Jesus, God, or Salvation, then no one would ever hear about Jesus and then by not hearing about Jesus, they would all go to Heaven.
See how ridiculous that is?
Read Psalms 19 and Romans chapters 1-3.
God has made provision for EVERYONE even deaf and blind people to know about Him.
Yes even the mentally handicapped can know Him.
Nothing is impossible with God.
For you, you should say what can YOU do to help others know Him. So that no one has to stand before Him and say "I never knew you" only to hear Him say "I never knew you" . Read Matthew 7:21 & following.

The scriptures are crystal clear that these people will suffer God's wrath for their sins. 2 Thessalonians 1:8
It's not like when they end up in hell they will be suffering unjustly, their suffering will be in accordance for every wrong deeds and actions they have done while living on earth.
After a person dies that person's eternal destination is sealed forever. This is why it is important to spread the gospel into the world and why Christ has commissioned his followers to spread the Word.

Good question. My thoughts are that the ignorant is no better position than a sinner. God said "Either you are for Me or against Me"....no middle ground.
Most people that have never had any exposure to God, know, in their heart, that there is a supreme being AND they know right from wrong. With todays Radio and TV world wide coverage it is almost an impossibility for anyone not to have been exposed to God. Pops

If that person lived a good life, didn't try to screw over everybody, didn't throw a rod in his neighbor's wife, didn't kill anybody that didn't deserve it...he might take a trip to Abu Dhabi. Or wherever his vision of heaven is. Maybe Cleveland. Or planet X.

God reveals Himself to every person. Read John 1:9. At
this time a person will reject the idea of God or search. If
they are + to God, He will send the correct person to him.
But if they are - He doesn't owe anyone anything. People have free will, I know everyone hates that but it's true.

I don't think there is one person on the face of the Earth that has not heard of one GOD....

The same thing that happens to us all. He goes straight to his Creator. Even if he had heard of Jesus and didn't follow Him it's still the same answer. There are no exceptions.

Best guess is Jesus would look at their heart and then decide.
All people have souls whether they are christian or not,the same as all people have ears and noses wether they are christian or not,
I dont know where it comes from but our souls are clean but when we sin the sin leaves a black mark,i guess they will be examined for black marks,
If they were good people during their lives they will be given the OK.

I personally believe that if, of no fault of their own, they were uneducated about Christianity during their life, they will go to Heaven. But I honestly don't know, it's not my place to judge them. I guess we'll find out after death, won't we?

Those who live outside of the law are judged outside of the law. Jesus will not condemn a person who has not heard of him if they are trying to live a good life anyways.
