There is evidence from all cultures, religions, and areas of the world going back thousands of years that there is some kind of heaven and hell. That evidence is from people who survived near death experiences; and studies have shown that such people often can tell details of what is happening in the hospital or other place when they would not be conscious of what was happening.
However, I'm not sure I can tell you what determines which direction you go other than living a good life and treating other people well likely goes to heaven; and at least the extreme of treating other people very badly likely goes to hell.
I do not buy the concept that just saying "I believe in Jesus" by itself at the end of your life is a "get out of hell" card. I think there has to be more than just that (but it sure sounds good as marketing PR). Also, it ignores all the other religions in the world where "heaven vs hell" near death experiences have been reported. So what is required must apply to all religions in the world.
As far as the OP's question: If your actions in life have headed you to heaven, or hell... then I don't thing being gullable by itself will make much a difference.
An interesting question is why were you gullible. Could one of the key test be how well you researched something to validate its likely truth before taking actions on something? I don't know the answer to that.
I do know that I disassociate myself from people who will not do a reasonable amount of effort to find what is likely the truth.
That's a respectable opinion. Dispite being gullible you are still responsible for your actions. Unless in an extreme case you are mentally deficient and thus incapable of making logical decisions. It's up to god to make that judgment at the end of the day.
Do gullible people deserve to go to hell?
