Jay: I was taught that the "all creation tells the glory of God" and that a person's conscience is sufficient to damn a man to hell whether he hears the "gospel" or not. In that context the natives who've never heard the gospel but believe in a higher being and worship that being without knowing what it is will still got to heaven. Those that reject that being and ignore their own conscience condemn themselves to hell.
The infant goes to heaven because they have not reached the "age of accountability" where they can understand the "gospel" or listen to their coscience. That age can vary according to different denominations and between catholics and prostestants.
This is what I was taught.
