However, rejection of Christ as Messiah implies a very likely rejection of his teaching.
Jesus is a religious prophet. No more, no less. Not accepting his message does not preclude the ability towards doing good.

In the interest of not dragging this thread into an argument without end (is there a god, yada yada etc), I won't react to this.

Obviously. How else can you judge them? Or do you have some way to read people's minds? All we have to judge them buy are their actions and their words, and words are a form of action (expressing yourself).

You have intimated that if he rejected the "message of Christ" while knowing of its existence it automatically means he could not have gotten into heaven. Which is pretty nutty in my book.

Nobody is perfect. But you know damn well Gandhi was a whole lot better than the vast majority of his contemporaries. It's an almost universal consensus amongst almost everybody, save some fringe nutjobs, that he was a good and righteous person.
