I remember having it explained to me in catechism (essentially catholic religious education) that they would know you're in hell and wouldn't miss you. Kind of a fucked up thing to tell a 6 year old, but what are you gonna do

There's a part in Dante's Inferno where Dante sees a guy he used to know in Hell and he's bummed out, but his guide Virgil says, "That guy is in Hell because God wants him here. Who the F are you to question the will of God? Maybe you should just stay in Hell yourself if you think you're so smart..." and Dante has to backtrack and be like, "No, you're right, fuck that guy."

/I know Dante's Inferno isn't technically Catholic doctrine, it's just fanfic that became so popular people can't separate it from the canon.
