The atheist who spend his life working for aid agencies would go to hell. It's his sins that send him there, not his good works that get him into heaven.
Does Gandhi go to hell? I don't really know. That's for another thread, but let's get right down to the nitty gritty. How about Protestants and Catholics? I was brought up Baptist, and my wife was brought up Catholic. When we were ready to get married, her priest refused to perform the ceremony, and told me to my face that I was about to drag her to hell.
Anyone who has not been forgiven of sin will be sent to hell because of those sins. The only way to be forgiven is to repent before God. Jesus is the only one who can forgive sin, thus everyone but repentant and forgiven Christians will go to hell. God's love and Grace is strong enough to forgive any sin, however in order to be forgiven we must repent and believe in Jesus and the sacrifice He made. Only God and the individual knows if they are saved, so it's not our place to judge. However, all others will go to hell for their unforgiven sins because their sins prevent them from being in God's Presence and demand judgement. I do believe that this pastor should have been fired.
Nothing personal, but I find this VERY hard to believe. My wife is Buddhist and we had no problem getting our wedding in a Catholic Church and recorded on my baptismal record. Only needed a dispensation from the bishop, which was no problem. Catholic teachings are generally far more inclusive of who will go to heaven than most Protestant groups are, including Baptists based on my conversations with them...
Yeah, from my experience Protestants (specifically Calvinists) that I know have a more negative view on salvation in general compared to Catholics.

It's the main reason my wife left the Catholic church.
