Only the ones who would end up meriting heaven were there and they were separated when they were not damned after their death, presumably at their personal judgment.  They were then set apart in the Limbo of the Fathers/Hades/Abraham's Bosom where they awaited their Savior to rescue them.

Quote from: Rev. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange O.P.
The Church is intolerant in principle because she believes;
she is tolerant in practice because she loves.
The enemies of the Church are tolerant in principle because they do not believe;
 they are intolerant in practice because they do not love.

From the Penny Catechism:

63. What do you mean by the words, "He descended into Hell?" By the words "He descended into Hell," I mean that, as soon as Christ was dead, His blessed Soul went down into that part of Hell called Limbo.

64. What do you mean by Limbo? By Limbo I mean a place of rest where the souls of the just who died before Christ were detained.

65. Why were the souls of the just detained in Limbo? The souls of the just were detained in Limbo because they could not go up to the kingdom of Heaven till Christ had opened it for them.
