"is there a scriptural basis for believing that He makes exceptions after death?"

While it is true that he does not explicitly deny the possibility of exceptions for the unknowing, no one having a conversation such as this one falls into that category.
Secondly, he is quick to aid those who truly seek him. I hear many a story, and some first-hand, of Muslims, Bhuddists and others (simply looking at the world and its religious teachers and simply saying, "This cannot be") who prayed like Gideon for a sign, whereupon th Brothers were sent to speak with them

God is just.

Will they still be happy in Heaven knowing that their nonchristian loved ones are in Hell forever?

God is just.

I wonder if the parents of a child who died unsaved could be happy in Heaven. Any thoughts?
