If you have darkness in your heart you will be in Purgatory until you have reached the state of perfect grace. Hell is when you have no will to reach it, and so you never do (hence why we say Hell is permanent).
So of course, I believe Hell/Purgatory can happen to anyone regardless of religious title. It just depends on what's in your heart.
A lot of Catholics don't believe in Purgatory; they consider it to be a medieval myth. I know that you'll quote the CCC on this, but Francis is going to revise that here soon, and so, Purgatory is likely to go the route that the Limbo of the Children went.

This sounds a lot like high Calvinism where Calvin taught that some individuals who perish in infancy were predestined to life eternal while others were predestined to perdition.
