How does God Judge those who never heard the gospel of Christ?

[Carry_Your_Name]

When God judges according to conscience, they remain condemned because our conscience will not excuse everything.

12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law
13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;
. (Rom. 2:12-13 NKJ)

For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. (Jas. 2:10 NKJ)


No one does all the law, no one follows their conscience 100%, therefore both "will perish" without Jesus' propitiation.

Only in Christ is there salvation, by God's grace we are saved through faith in Him, period.

I totally agree, but to play the devil's advocate, there're some sentimental and argumentative folks who'd turn to those who pass away as infants, toddlers and aborted fetus - what about them? Do they all go to hell? Furthermore, this may somehow inflate a sense of pride and superiority, that since Jesus is the only way to salvation, only I and my peers in my church community are saved, whomever I perceive as "pagan", "atheist", "infidel", "apostate" or a numskull who's never heard or understood the gospel is beneath me, they're all on a highway to hell while I'm heading to heaven. We can't have this kind of attitude.
