someone who lives in a tribe away from civilization, and never heard of Jesus, will they not go to heaven?

you forgot an important factor...The spirit of God. After Jesus rose from the grave he told his disciples that he was leaving and going back to heaven to sit at the right hand of the father, where he is now, but when he left he would send The Holy Spirit of God ....and that is the reason for the tugging on mans heart to come to repentance and make right with God.
So, he may be stranded on an island with no humans...but God can still reach his heart, and should man surrender, lol...then Glory to God, should man reject God and spend eternity away from God, in hell, well then..the same i say....Glory TO GOD...
FOR GOD IS A JUST GOD! WE DONT NEED TO SEE ALL THE DETAILS....HE IS SOVERIGN AND AWESOME!
sorry......you wont find God unjust, maybe just in you eyes...but then again HE IS GOD AND YOU ARE NOT....

They could very well go to Heaven. The Bible says those who have never heard the Gospel will be far much better off than those who have heard and ignored it.

The Bible says God puts his Word in the minds and hearts of all people. There is no one who hasn't heard of God either in Word or in Spirit.Whether this person is going to Heaven, only God will decide.

Why assume this person has "never heard of Jesus"? Jesus reveals Himself and has been doing it for centuries. He sometimes uses people (ie... missionaries) but not always (Moses and the burning bush). God can reveal Himself to anyone at anytime.

If it wasn't his fault that he never heard about Jesus, and if he lives according to moral, then yes. God is merciful. One thing is not knowing him, which is way different than denying him.

If he or she was a decent person (what ever that is and by the tribal standards) the probably yes. "My Father's house has many mansions." I am sure there is one there for everyone who is a decent person, who isn't truly evil.

I think the answer is yes, they will go to heaven.

I like to think people like those get "free tickets". Obviously I don't know that, but God is a just God, and it seems that damning those people would be an unjust choice to me.

I think they go to purgatory and all the good catholics pray them into heaven.
