The only way to judge someones character is by their actions, but I geuss if they took a bullet for their friend in the past but were not willing to go to hell for others, you could maybe say you have someone who has good character even if they couldnt bring themsleves to have the courage to go to hell.
Relatively good compared to somebody who would sacrifice nothing. It's a spectrum, and you have to establish a baseline.
