She wouldn't be in heaven because she wouldn't have been able to accept Jesus as her lord and savior, and heaven didn't exist yet. She wouldn't be in hell because hell didn't exist yet.
Apparently, she's in sheol, as is everyone from the first 4,000 years of creation.
I could would probably agree with you on that, except I believe that as of Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, the old testament believers either went to heaven then or will be taken to heaven upon his final coming.
Why can't Bible believers get the damn Bible fairy tale correct? It plainly says that no one has gone to heaven except for Jesus. And guess what? No one will go to heaven. The old heaven will pass away and all of the "good souls" will spent eternity in a giant gaudy bejeweled golden cube called New Jerusalem behind a high wall on a waterless planet in constant light. You can call that heaven if you want but it seems like a maximum security prison to me.
And hell is temporary since everyone in it will get out on Judgment Day. Just because a person spent time in hell doesn't mean that he won't get into the heavenly maximum security prison called New Jerusalem. Of course if he's lucky he will be tossed into the lake of fire and won't spend eternity as a zombie worshiping a nutty deity.
