My understanding is that babies and others who aren’t exposed to the word of God (and therefore are not given the opportunity to be saved) will go to Purgatory.

Of course, all of this differs depending on the denomination of Christianity that you’re talking about.

I heard they went to Limbo, because it wasn't their fault that they hadn't been baptized. This is for Catholics only, because other christians just have heaven and hell.

No more catholic limbo. They abolished the doctrine in 2007

What happened to all of the souls there?

Good question!

Maybe they were grandfathered in?

No. There is no heaven, per se. Afterlife, but not the Christian version. I mean, how would that pan out for non-Christians? No Merciful God would shut out his children.

Who said God was merciful? Have you read the Bible?

Not OP, but isn’t that inherent in Christianity?

No, that’s why I was asking what religion op was. No religion I know of in Christianity states you must be baptized to go to heaven. There could be some religions or denominations I don’t know of that believe that baptism is necessary to go to heaven.

Heaven is not dependent upon the Sacrament of Baptism.

Except, op might be in a different type of religion that has made the distinction that they believe it is necessary.

So op?

This is strictly your opinion. There are many religions that have very firm teachings about heaven -- and what you need to do to get in it.

Many religions don't care about god being merciful to anyone who doesn't share their beliefs.

I doubt it. No human is perfect. We just need to do the best we can do to follow the Golden Rule and God's commandments, and then we should be saved by faith alone and being repentant.

Don’t you have to accept Jesus though, in order to go to heaven?

Doesn’t salvation by faith alone mean salvation by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior?
