That's not a question I can answer.

Here's may take on it.

We should...

1 Timothy 2:1
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

...knowing that...

Romans 9:18
Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

God knows exactly how to save an elect child. Rest in God's power and mercy. Even if things don't look like it's making sense in the natural.

So pray for all men, that God would have mercy upon them. Allow Him to effectually call His elect children to Himself. In this He is glorified.

no one can tell you who is going to hell and if they try they are overstepping their boundaries. I can tell you how to be assuredly saved from how according to the Word of God however.

The wages of sin is death.

When lust has conceived, it brings forth sin, and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.

No one need embrace a false doctrine in order to be lost and go to hell.

All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.

There is none that does good, no not one.

So it isn't automatically about anyone's doctrine, it's about the state of their soul.

The litmus test of salvation for the accountable soul is always and only obedience to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. All who have obeyed the Gospel are saved. Any who have not obeyed the Gospel of Jesus Christ are lost, and ALREADY WERE LOST, and will find themselves in hell, post-mortem.

The tricky, divisive part comes in when dissecting the Gospel and what it means to properly obey it. That is where disagreement comes in and so some say "these people are saved, but these people are not".

[Jermyn Davidson]

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that produces an obedience to the Gospel and doctrines clearly outlined in the Bible.

Example: Water Baptism
Application:

It's not the act of going into water that saves, but it is what the Bible calls, "the answer of a good conscience" towards the Lord. In other words, your genuine, soul-saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will be the reason why you are baptized, why you pray, why you witness-- Jesus will be the center of your life and the reason why you do what you do.


*Note - Some might take issue with my theology. If my theology differs from what you have been taught at your church by your Pastors and mentors, follow the scriptures and follow your Pastors prayerfully. You know them, their doctrines and their way of life a bit more personally than some random guy on the internet.
