So let me ask you a question:

A man hears the good news of the Gospel. He believes what he hears and beleives that Jesus Christ died for his sins. Now, before he can get baptized he dies. Is he not saved?? Is he going to be under God's wrath, eventhough he believed?

This is what is known as a "hard case". What God does in such a situation is not spelled out in Scripture, so we have no way of knowing for sure. What we do know is that we are to believe, repent of our sins, confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and be baptized for the remission of our sins. It is that simple.

Only the Lord knows the answer to that question.  All we can do is be obedient to His Word and spread the good news in order to save souls.

What about the child of non Christian parents who dies in infancy?
