I don't understand the reason why you guys keep arguing when it's obvious that you both agree on the same point.

Why do you take it like Sovngarde's gates are closed to people? Where does it say that? Also, where does it say that the Dragonborn believes in the Nord gods? In fact, where does it even say that many nords in Skyrim believe in the Nord gods? Many of them are imperials, they most likely worship the Eight Divines, and the Eight Divines are the Imperial Pantheon, not the Nord Pantheon. There's no Shor there, and definitely no Ysmir. There's equivalents, yes, but it's still not the same.

The only reason why Kodlak Whitemane couldn't go to Sovngarde was because Hircine would CLAIM his soul. Not that Tsun wouldn't allow him, but Hircine would take him away.

The way I see it, anyone who wishes to go to Sovngarde; has the freedom to do so; can prove their worth in battle, be it with pure strenght, magic power, wit or Voice, is allowed in. And we haven't seen any evidence against that, have we? Just pure speculation because you only see Nords in Sovngarde.
