So a tribe member somewhere in the amazon who’s never heard of Jesus goes to hell??

You may roll on the floor laughing but it does not change scripture. The scriptures imply pretty strongly actually that those who do not confess Jesus The Christ will not enjoy the blessings of Heaven.
I personally hope and believe that ignorance is bliss, or that if you haven’t accepted Christ through no fault of your own that you will not be punished until you have had a chance to accept Him but The Holy Bible does not teach that.
There are many wonderfully kind and good people in the world who are not Christian. Will goodness and kindness get you to Heaven to live with The Christ? I think not. But I also believe there are some provisions made for those non-believers who have never known the name of Jesus The Christ. They just aren’t pointed out in the Holy Bible.
Our Mormon friends preach that there is a way but there is only very little support for their doctrine in the Holy Bible. When I asked a Roman Catholic Priest about this doctrine and spoke about Jesus visiting Hell while He was between mortality and the resurrection, he said that Christ went to visit Hell just to punish those that were there but Mormons believe he preached to them because they might be redeemed.
I think that it is important to tell everyone we can of Jesus Christ so that they will have the opportunity to accept Him. I am afraid that we will be held accountable for those we could have taught about Christ but were too lazy to do so.
I'm sure there are Catholic priests who are completely ignorant of Catholic doctrine, and you appear to have found one. What you write above is not at all Catholic doctrine. Christ went to Hades -- not the hell of the damned, but the "Limbo of the Fathers" -- to liberate and bring to heaven the righteous dead of the Old Testament world.
They have OTHER Scripture to help answer all questions.
