No way. I agree here w/ Gabriel. I never questioned that children will get into heaven. They're too young to understand. And you want them to spend some time in purgatory, for something they don't even understand? It wouldn't be fair.

You said several times, that w/out Jesus there is no way into heaven. That's not entirely right. Think about all people who never ever had a chance to hear about Jesus in their whole life. How will they get judged? Get into hell because of something they never heard about? Again, this wouldn't be fair.

People who lived before Jesus could decide for JC as he preaching to them in Hades. People who lived after Jesus, but never had a chance to hear about him, will get judged in the way they appreciated God's work and/or the way they lived their life. That's how it got told to me ... and it made sense. At least to me. :)

Regards,
Alex
