What happens to those who die and were not catholic?

[lmoverstreet]

I’m currently in RCIA, but there is this one question I am not sure about. My dad passed away a year ago come March, he was not Catholic he was Lutheran. What is the churches view on what would happen to him? Will I be able to be reunited with him again?
