Yes! Everyone goes to hell whether you're saved or lost. The word hell is a transliteration of the word sheol and hades both of which mean the grave. The Catholic church went one step further and said hell is a place where people are alive burning forever. That world mean the wicked would have to get eternal life.

hell (n.) 
Old English hel, helle, "nether world, abode of the dead, infernal regions," from Proto-Germanic *haljo "the underworld" (cognates: f. Old Frisian helle, Dutch hel, Old Norse hel, German Hölle, Gothic halja "hell") "the underworld," literally "concealed place" (compare Old Norse hellir "cave, cavern"), from PIE *kel- (2) "to cover, conceal" (see cell).
This is about what I have always understood the etymology of hell to be. Also, I have read that it is named for Hölle, the goddess of the dead.
As for the word, sheol, sheol is the translteration from the Hebrew word שׁאול pronounced the same. Sheol is the world of the dead, the pit.

"And the thief said unto Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him: Verily, verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise."
A lot of misinformation there. . .
Sheol and Hades were mistranslated "hell" in the KJV.
Sheol is the place of the dead, consisting of two parts:
Paradise - spirits of the righteous departed,
Hades - spirits of the unrighteous departed.
Nope. . .
Jesus is the one who informs us of eternal fire (Mt 5:22, 29, 30, 10:28; Mk 9:43-47).
Then there is Mt 23:15, 33, 13:42, 25:36; Php 3:19; 2Th 1:9; Heb 10:39; 2Pe 2:17; Jude 13;
Rev 2:11, 19:20, 20:6, 10, 14, 21:8.
Have you read the NT?
That would be the place of the departed righteous in Sheol, which is the OT place of departed spirits.
I'll answer the OP's question with another question: have you ever known a Jew who has been able to perfectly keep the Law? If not, and if said person has not accepted the forgiveness of sins offered by Jesus Christ, that person is condemned to eternity in what is referred to as "hell."
It is not true that Jews deny the son any more than it would be true if it was said that gentiles deny the Son. Many gentiles deny not only the son, but God. Often, Jews deny that Christ as He lived on earth was the Son, while not denying that the Son mentioned all through the OT was the Son. Often, in the same way, Christians who recognize Christ as Christ lived with us and was crucified was God, also deny that the Father spoke to us in the OT.
True Christians know both as One.
No man comes unto the Father except dia Jesus...
Did Jesus call the JEWISH PHARISEES white washed coffins filled with dead men's bones and their doctrine made men two fold the children of hell....
I am the Lord thy God, I change not!

I the OT, people would go to Sheol. Now, with the incarnation, sacrifice and resurrection of Christ, people go in heaven (like the thief) or in hell (like the rich man from the parable).

Actually in the NT it's called paradise. Jesus said to the theif today you will be with me in paradise. Jesus did not go to heaven at that time. He went to paradise and took the captivity captive. Then He remained on Earth for forty days teaching the apostles and then ascended into Heaven.
I think Jesus Christ was both in paradise (I called it heaven) with the thief, and in the Sheol of the OT, preaching to the souls in prison and releasing them from death (the death of being separated from God).
Not true! Not all of us shall sleep, but we shall all be changed in an instant.
