The same way Abraham was saved.
By obeying the Lord.
I rejoice in God almighty who is the loving "foundation" you can't see through your chosen doctrine.This statement lacks foundation but I agree. No One Seeks God. Thus the 1282 N.A. Indian is in hell.
It amazes me that you think folks who never gave a second thought to Christianity will be eventually saved on the day of judgement.I hope not as I do not think He finds anything in man to be worthy of respect. Dualism believes in 'free will' ... the self-determination of man that enables him to chose God independent of God. This, they feel, is rewarded by God respect as He is obligated by this self-determination to adopt them as His sons.
I, on the other hand, believe we are ONLY rewarded for what He has done.

I'm still waiting for your explanation of how a 1282 N.A. Indian has a chance to be saved.
Your answer:
Romans 1:18-25 is God's wrath on unrighteousness as no one is without excuse before Him as His word has gone out into the world and the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, but the ones Satan has blinded can not see God and can not hear Him calling them to salvation as their hearts have become hardened towards Him.If a man does the above naturally, he will be judged worthy of eternal life by his conscience.
"For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:" (Rom 2:14)
"But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God." (Rom 2:29)
Premise 1: Romans 11:32 For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone.
Premise 2: The 1282 Indian can be saved by obeying (JLB)
Conclusion: *DING* *DING* ... I'm sorry, if your method salvation is IMPOSSIBLE / INVALID. It is a contradiction. Something cannot "A is not non-A," or that something cannot be true and not true at the same time and in the same sense.
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Gal. 5:2-3
John Wesley Commentary
Gal. 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Therefore Christ is become of no effect to you - Who seek to be justified by the law. Ye are fallen from grace - Ye renounce the new covenant. Ye disclaim the benefit of this gracious dispensation.
Tom Constable Commentary Gal. 5:2-4
The legalists appear to have been claiming that circumcision was a necessary step in the process by which people become acceptable to God. These steps from their viewpoint were faith in Christ, reception of the Spirit, and circumcision of the flesh. Paul argued that anyone who submits to circumcision to gain acceptance with God really believes in salvation by law-keeping. If one believes in law-keeping for salvation, he must keep the whole Law, not just the requirement of circumcision. That is impossible for sinners to do. Rather than gaining acceptance with God, circumcision would be what separated them from Christ.
John MacArthur Gal. 5:4
A third consequence of seeking to be justified by circumcision or any other form of the law, is that it causes a person to become severed from Christ and thereby become fallen from grace. Severed is from katarge image (Image) , which, when followed by the preposition, means to be separated or loosed from (cf. Rom. 7:2, 6). Fallen is from ehpipt image (Image) , which means to lose one’s grasp on something. Simply stated, a person cannot live by both law and grace. To attempt to be justified by law is to reject the way of grace.
Bridgeway Bible Commentary Gal. 5:2-4
If circumcision is necessary for salvation, Christ is of no use. Also, those who want to keep the law about circumcision must keep the whole law. They cannot choose one command and ignore others to suit themselves. If they try to find salvation through law-keeping, they cut themselves off from the salvation that comes from Christ through God’s grace
V. Chueng Gal. 5:4
Now since those who rely on the works of law must "live by them," and since they can never achieve perfect obedience to the law, all those who seek justification in this matter are doomed to eternal condemnation. Since the way of faith is the way of reliance on Christ for salvation, those who rely on observing the law instead are cut off from faith, and cut off from Christ(Galatians 5:4).
