Yes, Catechism 847:

"Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too may achieve eternal salvation."

So those who do not know Christ, and do not know the Scriptures, but follow their conscience, are saved. Kind or runs counter to the Words of Jesus, doesn't it?

No. That’s not what it says. You’re leaving out several things. The more important thing you’re leaving out is “may”.

“Kind or runs counter to the Words of Jesus, doesn’t it?”

No. Christ is not cruel. Again, do you believe children go to hell? How about aborted babies? They don’t believe in Christ, right? So, accrording to you they must AUTOMATICALLY go to hell, right?
