The Aztecs were invaded by the Spaniards NOT necessarily Christians.
I don't know if they went to heaven or not, that is between them and God.
Same goes for cavemen, alien life and bigfoot.
Blessings!!

The Spaniards tried hard, and often violently, to uproot the Aztec religion from Mexico. In many cases, they built their own churches on top of Aztec temples, using the stones of the older building in their construction work. Even pieces of Aztec idols became building material.
However, it was not difficult for the Aztecs to get used to the new religion. Idols of wood and ceramic were substituted for their stone idols. These new idols were more human-looking, but they were idols nonetheless. And many of the old religious ideas remained a part of Mexican culture. For example, there was still a cult of the dead, observed each year at the beginning of November. And followers of the new religion believed in the immortality of the soul, as had the ancient inhabitants of Mexico. So there were really many similarities between the religion Cortés introduced and the one he was trying to destroy.
These mute ruins of the main temple, now open to visitors, strongly evoke an empire and a culture that is gone forever. They remind us of cruel religious customs, of gods that are no longer worshiped, and of practices that are still preserved, albeit under a different name and in a different religion.

Did they go to heaven? haven't you read the Bible my brother? nobody goes to heaven before Judgements Day, those Aztecs you mentioned were ignorant of Christ so they need to be in a place where they can be instructed and have their chance.
By the way Im Irish-American so my people never invaded Mexico.

Christians did not attack the Aztecs. That, if you do your history, was carried out by the Spanish government with the help of the Great ; the catholic church.
DOH! I can't write the word "wh0re" on my friends computer.
I had to use a zero to do that. But I guess it's the great 0 as well.
Both are far from Christ

For God grace is eternal, for us it enters the field of time with Jesus. So at the very least we can say that those who loved others are doing just fine (Romans 2:13-15, Matthew 25:31-46).

I'm afraid I never met or killed an Aztec and didn't give them any diseases. You must be referring to the Roman Catholic church.

Coca Cola, we stopped them from doing something they were not going to do by killing them?
Don't think that "Apocalypto" was a true account.

For all you know, alien life forms may believe in God, too.
