Romans 1 deals with God's personal revelation to all people through creation, it also talks about the Gentiles knowing God, but decidely rejecting Him and slipping further and further into idolatry. However even in a pagan soceity one can discern God by cration and conscience if they are truly searching for Him. Furthermore God knows the hearts of all, and he is able to reveal himself to the heathen, as in the case of Abraham. (Of course the Arbraham argument is not directly mentioned in
Romans 1, but it is an example of God revealing himself to a pagan).
Anyway
Romans 2 continues on the thought of
Romans 1 and talks about the Gentiles [pagans] being a law unto themselves, and thus being judged accordingly.
I do believe that whatever judgment God gives will be just in all cases. I'll let Him judge according to his perfect knowledge, and I will continue to uphold the revelation that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, and there is no salvation in any other.
