Slimy..
The Catholic church claims a connection with god doesn't it? When the question is posed whether or not atheists are sent to hell we are not asking if catholic lady thinks they should go there or if catholic lady thinks there might be additional outs that they might come across that gives them another chance to convert. No.
The question is put forth to be answered by what has been revealed by god through the catholic church and it's canon scriptures. An honest answer would come from reflection upon what has been written and pronounced with perhaps a caveat or two. A dishonest answer would weasel around the question and ignore the core of the faith to pretend that there is no relevant information on one side or the other.
