But there would still be the offer purification there in the Christian system and you have the freewill to reject the offer. Once you reject it you get whats coming to you in hell. So the system seems kind of fair to me, as long as "good" non-Christians can be judged on how good they were.
By these standards though, if I live a good life but don't believe, I still go to hell. And while I understand the nature/nurture component of this, it is still a very unjust system designed and maintained by a supposedly omniscient god who knew what I would do in the first place.
There are several rebuttals to the argument you presented above.
1. There is no "hell" and it was just Greek mythology added.
2. Even if hell were real, the Bible says "aeonian" (pertaining to an age)
3. Romans 2 speaks of Gentiles who do not have the law. (unbelievers)
