What you are asking is akin to us praying that we can sit on the coach and pray that God would give us a 2016 Lincoln Town Car with suicide doors and continental trunk, oh also 700 HP engine, with full LED lighting...with a mad sound system.  Now, that isn't God, that Santy Claus.
But I believe what you are asking is that we should pray that we are wrong about salvation because you would like to see more people go heaven. But while you are hoping for that you would also like to be extremely obnoxious while you are still living with us. Making up foolish scenarios not to be answered but in an attempt to show how we don't love souls because we won't pray for a Gospel of Inclusion. Well, hate to break it to you but most majority of religions (ancient ones) have certain criteria for its neophytes and devotees to adhere to and follow. That's just how they roll. So, tell you what since what Apostolics believe isn't your cup of tea go and start your own religion. Call it the First Temple of JFrog's Happy House of Inclusion. Where there is no criteria to meet, where the road is wide and the gates are flung open so that everyone from serial killers to players will be welcomed in with your amphibious claws.
But seriously, telling people that they have no love and yearning to save the lost because they won't pray to their God to remove a criteria is silly. To keep pounding the pulpit for someone to dance with you concerning your question is obnoxious, and will only earn you pot shots, so we can laugh and you can tell us you're just the pious victim. Don't know what to tell you Hoss, they discontinued the Lincoln Town Car, and I just had to live with that REALITY. Just like you have to deal with the REALITY of repentance, baptism in Jesus name, infilling of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of SPEAKING WITH OTHER TONGUES.

Right, praying or hoping you are wrong about your beliefs is exactly like praying to God for a nice worldly possession... Is it just me or are some of the analogies here just out there?
So, what is wrong about hoping you are wrong and misread something about salvation? And wouldn't it be better for souls if salvation didn't require tongues and baptism in Jesus name?
