Um, is there any truth to this? Or does it depend on your religious beliefs?
That would be one interpretation from a Catholic of her beliefs....

It depends ENTIRELY on your religious beliefs and your interpretation of what the Bible says on the subject. The "truth" depends on what you think "true" means. Are her remarks literally and physically true? Most of the world would say "no". But then most of the world isn't Roman Catholic and even amongst that faction there is disagreement.

If I drop a hammer, I have rules and mathematics that predict with a lot of certainty how fast it will fall and what energy it will hit the ground with. If I assert "you're going to hell for doing X", there's no test at all to validate that statement.
