If you disagree, tell me of even one time in the Bible where God lowers the standards He has set for his people to follow.  God says that anyone who repents of their sins and confesses that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for their sins and believes it is true, will be saved.  Give me one time you know of that God has ever lowered this standard, and I will rethink my theology.

Now, this is my own conclusion and you are welcome to disagree, but it seems pretty straight forward to me.  There are many other ways to answer this question based on what has happened in this man's life, though. Some people believe that even though the man is a hermit, God will be sure to get the gospel to him in some way. Others believe that the man will go to heaven because he had no idea that God even existed, so why would God judge him in his ignorance?

There is a Bible verse that goes along with the last thought there.

Matthew 7:1 - "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged..."

If you take this passage into a specific train of thought, then however the hermit judged others, he will brought up before this standard at the Judgment Seat of God. He did not know God's standard, and shall be judged according to his own, then.  But tell me, what man has ever been able to live up to even his own standards?  God demands perfection, or salvation through the acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice.

Choose whichever answer you like, but the first paragraph is the one that I believe.
