Not an accurate reflection of my understanding. According to my understanding, Romans 2 the "law written on his heart" then becomes the guideline by which God judges.

Hmmm!

Hebrews 10:14-17 For by one offering He hath perfected for ever those who are [being] sanctified.

Of this the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us; for after He had said before, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."

As a followup to my Hebrews quote:
Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law, no flesh shall be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
This kinda puts you right back into being dead in sin.

Hebrews 10:14-17 For by one offering He hath perfected for ever those who are [being] sanctified.

Romans 2: 6 God "will give to each person according to what he has done."[1] 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism. 12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, 15 since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

The Lord is righteous. He provides a way for all to have an opportunity. Then they decide what to do with that opportunity.
