repenting sinners, desiring of forgiveness (still believers): Purgatory... eventually Heaven

unrepenting sinners, blasphemers, heretics, and good people who CHOOSE not to believe: Hell (9 different levels of hell, depending on particular kind of offence)

but what about people who never had the chance? Unbaptised babies, and people who never heard "the word": Limbo (defined as neither good or bad, just a neutral existence)

1)There are no sinless people. No one is perfect besides God.
2)One's who believe don't need purgatory.
3)I don't know what hell is like so I can't respond to that one.
4)Babies don't have a chance, but other people do. God can be seen everywhere. Hearing definitely helps, but you don't need to hear.

I don't think anyone has an answer to some of these questions, it is beyond comprhension. What can we do?
