What of the person who lives in a remote part of the world (ie the far reaches of China or Africa or South America) and never learns the Gospel? They are never taught about or receive the word of God, as to the scriptures, and never are baptized or confess the name of Christ, only because the truth was never given to them. By what means comes their salvation? Or are they condemned? What does your faith teach you on this point?

I wasn't asked this, but would say that their salvation comes the same way as Cornelius'. It was living in his Godfearing ways, prayers and his charity that drew God to him.

I’m sorry I am not being clear, but Cornelius was taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I’m referring to those who never received it in this life. Thank you for a clear answer though. That is what I am looking for.
