Well, I can't speak for others, or even for God. If He has given humanity incomplete information, that's His prerogative.

That said, the following verses seem to preclude salvation except through belief in Jesus Christ. If you disagree, I like to hear your argument. If you just disbelieve them, there is nothing more to say. If you feel they are open to other interpretation, have at it.

Mark 16:16
Luke 8:12
John 3:17,17
John 10:9
Acts 2:21
Acts 4:12 check this one for sure
Romans 10:9
1 Corinthians 1:18
Romans 1:16
1 Thessalonians 5:9
2 Timothy 2:10
2 Timothy 3:15
Hebrews 2:3
Hebrews 5:9
Hebrews 9:28

So. To answer you, No, I do not believe that there is any Way to salvation except by Jesus Christ. If God has made an exception for those that are sincerely trying to find Him, but for some reason do not come to Christ before death, that is His business, and I can only praise His infinite mercy.

But how many people are actually trying to find the God that Is, rather than one made in their own image, and tolerant towards their favorite sins?

I don’t understand why anyone would even bother to find God, since He is inside each of us.
