This question is rather misleading.

As someone who converted to Islam, I retrospectively realize that it took many years for me to formally convert to Islam. While the Muslim who introduced me Islam only had to mention a few things about Islam, I personally had engaged in years of spiritual inquiry, searching, study. And the same applies to most converts.

No one knows the ultimate destination of any of us: Jannah or Naar.
And no Muslim knows if a nonMuslim will go to Naar/Hell.
And no Muslim knows if a nonMuslim will eventually convert to Islam years after encountering him/her.
And no one is the 'shepherd' of another's Nafs/SELF/soul.

That said, what is more important for any Muslim is that he/she retains belief in the correct concept of the Aqidah, rather than change his/her beliefs to suit the whims and emotions of others.

And Allah knows best.
