Never actually saw the poll till now. Looked to the post itself.

Tempted to think SOMEHOW there is a way for those who never heard. But the word gives no room,.,,,, except for...

"Father forgive them for they know not what they do."

I wonder if that may cover some...

But since I cannot say for sure, I could not vote that way. Subject to correction.

2 Corinthians 4:3 KJV But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

lol I'm testing the winds to see which they blow, so I can tack right into them against the current.

Seriously, though, I am 99 percent certain they would be lost (salvation is not DESERVED by anyone, so then ALL are actually guilty ie lost to begin with...) although I would like to see a good case for 'righteous gentiles' if one can be made ie non-Covenanted people who fear God and practice righteousness having a place in the World to Come.

Since Jesus asked forgiveness of the Father on the cross, I've wondered if that may be how the cross is applied to such people. That would bring in the all-necessary cross of HIS death.

they will be just as warm as you are, but somehow suffering from...something they didn't learn, they have been judged, and their thirst for knowledge can no longer be satisfied
