Very good question. The unbeliever dies and goes to hell. Then they go to the judgment (the great white throne judgment, which is only for unbelievers.... no believers appear there), and they all fail it, since works can't save, and then they are sent to eternal torment in the lake of fire.
The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed in Jesus for eternal life, or not.
The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death

Hell is the grave 6 foot under, The Lake of Fire is the final death where humans will no longer exist who go there.

lake of fire - on going trash fires at Gehenna, Jerusalem's dump
Hell - Greek underworld of the dead where everyone goes or sheol, the Jewish underworld of the dead where everyone goes.
Hell was never in the original Bible. It was never part of Jewish doctrine and only appeared in Christian doctrine in the 5th century, embedded by Augustine. Anytime "Hell" appears in the Bible it's a bad translation.

Hell - temporary burial ground for dead bodies.
Lake - place where extinction, otherwise known as destruction occurs.

Hell is a concept. The lake of fire and brimstone is where mythical dragons live.
