Regradless of where you are spiritually, what are YOU doing to do about Christ?
Matt 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
WE all have to either accept Christ or to deny Him. Earthly institutions, good deeds, or intentions will NOT save anyone.
So you are saying that "all of humanity was excluded from salvation before Christ came, and that much of humanity (which has not had the opportunity to hear the Christian message until recently) was doomed to be eternally separated from God. This would imply a very cruel and elitist God. Our belief as Christians and Catholics is that God desires the salvation of all people … even those who are not Christian. How he achieves that, however, is a mystery. But we know that our God is a loving God who would not allow people to suffer on account of an ignorance that they were not responsible for."
An ignorance they were NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR!!!!!!! Try to understand this. It is not that hard.
