To that end, I seem to remember many stories of Christian missionaries finding groups of people already essentially believing in Jesus and God in very remote places (down to details that couldn't be just coincidence). The people could never have heard the Truth directly, but somehow they knew. I believe that "somehow" is direct from God.

Exactly! From person to person the truth was spread. It may have started with an evangelist like St. Mark, -- It is what we, as Catholics, call Holy Triadition.

Amen. God will find a way to save His elect.
