"Not to the point where the "seeker" doesn't even know that the point is that they are sinners and need a Savior."

Now, now, now, that's the job of the Holy Spirit to convict because the unbeliever (we call them "seekers") does not know he needs a Savior. He's there because God has summoned him there. God knows the reason and purpose and He can use 5 verses of "Our God is an Awesome God" or 20 verses of "Just As I Am" and even Hawaiian shirts instead of white shirts, ties and robes to call His elect home. He knows who are His and He does not let them get away. He takes them as far as His purposes allow. There will be none who will say "but I thought I trusted you for salvation" and be turned away nor will we hear that some have been turned away because the gospel they responded didn't conform to our standards. God will bring His own home in His own way and in His own time. Of course there will be some who have never trusted Christ for salvation but are relying on their own merit or some ritual or liturgy for salvation (I dare say they are even in our legitimate churches), who will say Lord, Lord, but that is not the "seeker" whom God has compelled to come, even to the "seeker service", to respond to even "Gospel light", if he has been chosen by God to salvation before the foundation of the world.
