Do Jews go to Hell forever? What about Hindus?

They may or may not, just as Christians may or may not.

Here's a link to the Church's position regarding the salvation of non-Christians. See paragraphs 846-848.

I thought the NT taught that everyone, no matter how good they tried to be, was a sinner headed for Hell - unless they accepted Jesus. Does it say otherwise?

You're sidestepping his point. Do all Jews, Hindus, Muslims, followers of all eastern religions, tribesman in Africa, Central and South America, Eskimos, South Pacific Islanders...not to mention the millions and millions of people who died before Jesus was born, do they ALL go to hell because they haven't or even had the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior?
