Just to clarify, the question is focused in the catholic dogma, (of course we are not going to decide who goes to hell and who doesn't, even if there is one)
Can you also consider the answer with the fact that only 33% of world population is Christian (all the options), and in the view of other religions.

Probably not.
The Catholic Church teaches about Judaism:
"The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant. To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ"; "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable."

It's not "according to Catholics" that you need to worry about. Or any Christian religion.... Only God knows who will go to heaven and who won't. Yes, Jesus said that the only way to the Father was through Him. Now that's what the Bible says. What do you think?

The Jews along with the Atheists don’t believe in Hell.
It would appear you have been a victim of Christian propaganda. I would suggest you get yourself a new Bible , there are about 40 or so that no longer use the word Hell .
What word are you translating as Hell ? sheol (Hebrew) , hades (Greek) , gehenna (Greek, from Hebrew), OR Tartarus ? None of these are Hell -: For example Hades is the brother of Zeus , who rules over the Greek mythical underworld .
All Jews , including Jesus ( if he existed ) have no concept of Hell , they have a Grave (sheol), ask your Jewish friends , assuming you are open-minded enough to have any.

Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-20 that he was not here to start a new religion; but to fix the Jewish one. If you read Acts, you would read that they met in the Synagogues.
There is a Jewish section that dose believe that Jesus was the Christ. So it maybe only Jewish that do believe in Jesus are on the narrow path?

Absolutely NOT. We believe there is benefit to be gained from many religions, and have a special love for the Jewish people and traditions. As a matter of fact, the Catholic Mass is based on the Jewish Passover meal.

aperson will either go to heaven or be cast into the lake of fire at the second coming of Christ. each person will have to stand in front of God and be judged for the deeds he/she does and answer to him. the decision is Gods, not satans, not the catholics, or anyone else. the catholics in the first place were the ones that started the misconception of going to heaven or hell at death. This teaching of man is not a teaching any where in the Bible.

The only way to heaven is to place your faith and trust in what the Lord Jesus Christ did for you on the cross. He died for your sins, He was buried and took your sins away and He rose again the third day for your justification. Reject that and it does not matter who you are there is only one place left. Romans 4: 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. 1 Corinthians 15: 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15: 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

God establish the normative path to salvation and everlasting life.
God is not bound by the rules He establishes for humanity.
Thus God could if He chose save a good person.

As a Jew, Christians, or anyone for that matter, telling me that I'm condemned to hell by their religion does not bother me a bit.
What does bother me are those who say they want to kill me in the name of their god.
