While most Christians are Israel-centric, one should realize the population of the world was much larger than the relatively small portion of the middle east. There were billions of individuals prior to, and subsequent to, the introduction of the Christ 2000 years ago who lived and died never hearing anything of the theology of the Old and New Testaments which included those who did not live in the geographical area of the bible.

Those billions of individuals who lived never hearing of the Christ aren't just cast away to God's torture chamber. The redemption provided by the Christ is much more than redeeming a relatively few people who have the advantage of being born into some semblance of Christianity.

The Jews were Gods chosen people before Christ. Since they found themselves unworthy, the gospel was taken to the Gentiles.

Name a person that was saved and never heard of Jesus.

The key phrase there is "before Christ". Except for the relative handful which lived during Jesus' time, the Jews, nor any of the other billions of individuals who lived during the 4000 years before Christ, never heard of the Christ. Billions who have lived after the introduction of the Christ have never heard of the Christ either.

Since they found themselves unworthy, the gospel was taken to the Gentiles.

According to the bible, God had introduced a less than perfect and unworkable plan of salvation to the jews through Moses...it wasn't about them being unworthy, it was about a flawed plan. According to the bible He corrected that less than perfect plan with a new and improved plan 2000 years ago after billions of individuals, both jews and non-jews had lived and died apart from knowledge of the Christ.

Moses never heard of the Christ and His plan of salvation which was introduced 2000 years after his death, did he?

The list would include billions who are saved and never heard of the Christ.
