Religious teaching on the disabled?

I come from the Catholic faith and the general rule of thumb seems to be that the handicapped are gifts from God, do not cause Him offense, and generally go straight to heaven. I get the sense that if you asked any Catholic (lay or clergyman) if  the handicapped ever go to Hell, you would a response of outrage and disgust.

But what is the True Bible based teaching on them? Many of them do not in fact read the bible, spend any time in prayer or ever try to convert sinners, or do God's will in any way. What happens to the ones who don't repent of sin and accept Jesus as savior?

What have your former priests/ministers/ rabbis/ imams/ druids/ witch doctors had to say on this?

Your soul will be fine, FSM cares greatly for you.
"For the only way to eternal glory is a life lived in service of our Lord, FSM; Verily it is FSM who is the perfect being the name higher than all names, king of all kings and will bestow upon us all, one day, The great reclaiming"  -The Prophet Boiardi-
