If that is correct, will they receive a spiritual reward in heaven, if their good deeds outweigh their bad, and they loved G-d the only way they knew how?

The general answer to your question is "yes." Bearing in mind that G-d's judgment is perfect, and only He knows the correct way to weigh the good deeds and the bad deeds, speech and thoughts of every individual, based on each individual's personal knowledge, abilities, environment and standing, etc.

If the person's soul did not merit to receive a part in the future World to Come, as one of the Pious of the Nations, then that person's soul would have already received its due reward for its good deeds by that time, and it would then cease to exist. But bear in mind that people's souls from earlier generations can be reincarnated into subsequent generations for additional opportunities to learn about and join the ranks of the Pious of the Nations, as faithful observers of the Noahide Code.
