James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. This means that correction of each other is a good thing, that we are looking out for one another. That is different from passing judgment on each other. If we leave this world without a relationship through salvation with Jesus and the Holy Spirit abiding in us, the Bible would tell us:(the following is an excerpt from gotquestions.org) To understand what happens to nonbelievers after they die, we go to Revelation 20:11-15 which describes the Great White Throne judgment. Here takes place the opening of the books and “the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” The books contain all the thoughts and deeds of those being judged, and we know from Romans 3:20 that “by the works of the Law is no flesh justified.” Therefore, all who are judged by their works and thoughts are condemned to hell. Believers in Christ, on the other hand, are not judged by the books of works, but their names are found written in another book—the “Lamb’s Book of Life” (Revelation 21:27). These are the ones who have believed on the Lord Jesus, and they alone will be allowed to enter heaven. Correction, warning, calling out each other if were wrong would be better now, to correct it, than if you have to stand uncorrected in front of the Almighty.
