Here is the crux of the matter. God is so Holy that He cannot look on sin. He clearly stated the wages of sin is death. That is not only physical death but also spiritual death as well. Which means separation form God. The only way back to a right relationship with your Creator, the Only True God is through the mediation of His Son whom He sent to be sin so that we may know life. So in answering you the answer is yes we all deserve to die, but God has in His Mercy provided a way out, and there is only one way. That is through the Blood of Jesus Christ.I understand the concern that a loved one might get sent to the hot place if they haven't crossed the right T's and dotted the right I's in this life. If someone really believes that then of course they would want to help. What I can't wrap my mind around is why the believer can't step back from that situation and ask the question "Does my loved one really deserve to be cast in an eternal fire?". Never seems to cross their mind that anyone who might do that to their loved one is unworthy of their love and admiration.
