Those who never heard about Jesus?

9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Quoting similar words as Jesus does not make one of God. Satan quoted the word.

It's what actually saves that determines a true prophet of God

Each religion is filtered and communicated through human agents and the humanity of each manifestation. However, the messages dovetail and are primarily the same as it relates to spirituality. The one who said that he is the door, is the same one who was manifest in Nanak, Krishna, Buddha, and others. Each religion becomes "idolatry" when its leaders become exclusivists that deny the whole of divine revelation and profess that they alone hold the entirety of divine revelation.

I do understand that you're taking Christ's words literally. But that presents a serious problem. Was Noah a thief and a robber? Abraham? Moses? King David? What about the numerous prophets of the Old Testament? Jesus is obviously speaking of false sectarian cult leaders and false messiahs that were exclusivists who separated their followers into divisions and sects, not bonafide prophets of God, regardless of culture and religious heritage.
