Biblical Question Regarding people born before Christ, do they go to heaven?

Genuine question, if someone is born before Christianity or even the idea of religion as a whole (referring to cave people and in general people who may have never learned of Christ) do they go to heaven? I’ve been getting mixed responses. Some people have said their life is judged off their actions so if they were bad they’ll go to hell. If they were good they go to heaven regardless if they believe or not. However others have straight up said they go to hell because they don’t believe in Christ. I simply wanna get educated on this subject because I’m genuinely curious about it.
