Check back with me on Judgment Day for the complete "box score". If you really want to speculate: Out of the two million Hebrews who went out of Egypt with Moses, only two managed to enter the Promised Land, before they died: Caleb and Joshua. Looks like the odds are "a million to one"! But that was before Christ....

Most go to hell right away ; but if they call upon Heaven they usually get out and go to a lesser Paradise .

No-one on Earth has any idea. Well, maybe some have an idea, but it's just their own guess.

(Revelation 7:4) 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:
(Revelation 5:10) and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”

Almost all of them are destined for heaven except those that commit and make extreme efforts to be eligible to go to hell.
Honestly speaking !

Unknown, but there are some hints.
Mat 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.
Mat 7:14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Luk 13:22 He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Luk 13:23 And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them,
Luk 13:24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
1Pe 3:20 because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water.
IMHO, and I hope I am very, very wrong, there will be very few who make it into heaven, like less than one percent.
I mean just read Mt 25:31-46 and consider all those who claim to be Christians, but have never even made an effort to visit someone in prison. Hopefully I am dead wrong about this.

God never told Adam that he would go to heaven if he obeyed. He told him he would die and return to the dust of the ground if he disobeyed. We are also told in the Bible that we are like the animals when it comes to dying. Just as they return to the ground, so we too return to the ground. God created the earth for humans to live on forever. Psalms 115:16 tells us: "As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah, But the earth he has given to the sons of men." There is a small number (144,000) whom Jesus has "bought from the earth" to rule in heaven with him over the earth. These will be a part of God's Kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for.--Revelation 14:1-3 and Revelation 20:6--All who are found in the "book of life" will be awakened from the sleep of death to live on earth as subjects of God's heavenly kingdom. Jesus Christ will be our king and will rule over the entire earth bringing an end to every kind of suffering we see today.--Revelation 21:3+4-- I hope you will look into what the Bible teaches from the international website, jw.org and Bible Teachings > Online Lessons. Thank you.

Jesus says the way to heaven is narrow, and few go that way. But everybody can be in heaven.
Nobody can be good enough to avoid hell. 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

The answer is 100% of those obeyed the terms of pardon (Rom. 6:17) and remained faithful (Rev. 2:10). Simple enough. Matthew 5:12
