What an astute observation. But since it is not referenced in the bible, it can't possibly be true.

The Bible is silent one way or the other on the subject. I would say the scripture indicates that any living creature in the universe must go through Jesus Christ in order to escape our time domain.

In Christian venacular that would be a spiritual being must believe that Christ's sacrifice and resurection paid the ransom for our sin. There is one name above every name "CHRIST JESUS" in all of His created universe. King of Kings, Lord of Lords!

There you go. Simply proclaim it. This is what the dispute is about. We are only saved through believing this. We can't believe it by our own power. God grants the faith to believe His Gospel. Some don't believe. Why some do not believe and others do is a true mystery, a doctrinal stumbling block. You unbelievers: don't "blame" God - a God with faults would not be much of a god; how many of you "wish" you could believe?
