I do not accept that, obviously.

Jesus said seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you.

Does God ignore the sincere desire to know Him and Love Him?

It is one thing to know and reject. It is another to honestly follow what one believes is the truth.

I don’t believe that God would allow so many of the latter to be lost to Him.

Jesus told us he would send the Spirit of truth to guide us. The Church of the Magisterium tells it's followers that Scripture is to hard for individuals to understand and they must depend on what the Church Fathers have decided it means.

As I stated before, we have free will. God can only suggest how we find truth. We have to decide who we listen to.

I don’t believe that God would allow so many of the latter to be lost to Him. I am sure He grieves at every lost soul. He can only keep trying to show us the right way desiring all will use their free will to chose salvation, not through a Church, but through His Son. BVB
