So, if someone, regardless of their faith, prays to their creator for help, does the one and only God hear him?
I would suggest, stuart, you read the Bible and find out the answers you seek. They are there.

Is the person sincerely calling out to his creator? Then I believe so. After all, if one does that when accepting Jesus, I believe he would here.
One need not own a bible to have a personal relationship with God, but it does enhance your understanding of Him, IMO.
I’ve actually, when arguing with atheists/agnostics, challenged them to pray something like this: “God, if you are even real, show yourself to me as I read this.” and then read John.
I explain to them that they must be sincerely seeking the truth about God or it is a futile exercise. I was an intellectual agnostic. Nobody can be intellectually convinced of the veracity of the story of Jesus and His sacrifice, but if one is a worshiper of their own intellect, that intellect can get in the way.
