Definitely - if Hitler accepted Jesus in the bunker he is in heaven, but the kindest, sweetest grandpa in the world who was only ever kind and generous to everyone but not a Christian is in hell.
I’ve definitely heard that from some, but I do also remember one of my Catholic friends showing me some writing from the Pope or catechism where it basically said “if you’re a good person that’s basically accepting Jesus even if you don’t actually believe in him, so you’re good” but Catholics are a lot less fire and brimstone than most other chrsitians in my experience.

FWIW that’s not actually the case. At least according to Catholic views you don’t actually have to be Christian as long as you’re a good person.
