It can be tempting to conclude that most everyone other than one's perfect self is going to hell. However, we need to remember that the definition of "temptation" is "an incitement to sin."

Have you ever had somebody tell you that they didn't want to learn what the Church teaches on a given subject?
(It can be tempting to conclude that most Catholics in America today are going to go to hell.)
