From my perceptions:
The Athiest: nobody
The Agnostic: Who knows but “if there is a God” he understands I basically mean well, so I am probably not going.
The twice a year (Easter and Christmas)Catholic: Only truly terrible people but not me I am good.
The common Catholic: Same as above.
The common Protestant: Same as above
The Evangelical Protestant: Everyone who does not know of or believe in Jesus (regardless of anything else)
The Muslim: Anyone who believes in the Holy Trinity (and more)
The devout Catholic: People in Sanctifying Grace, however only God knows for sure.
Seems to be trend here. Individuals who think little about God or the Faith they were born into seem to believe the greater the number of people will wind up in Heaven and the fewer in Hell.
This brings up two questions:
Based on the doctrine of our Faith, mixed with society at large, many (most) people we use the adjective “good person” here on earth are not in a state of Sanctifying Grace.
Anyone else struggle with this?

This brings up two questions:
- Is ignorance bliss?
- If we look to the person on either side of us, is it likely we are looking at someone who is to spend eternity burning in Hell?
