Yes, Salvation comes from God.

But did you read the article about the unknowing?

You know, so that puts you in a different place with the Lord.

but did you READ Romans chapter 1, starting at verse 18?

After you do, then you can answer your own question about the unknowing.

"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" (no. 16). In short, those who are truly unaware of what God requires of them are not held responsible; rather they are judged by what they did with the truth they had."

What a bunch of heretical malarkey.

Here is God's Word on the matter...

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened (Romans 1:18-21).

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. ( Romans 3:19)

All who come into this world under the federal headship of Adam, whether they've heard the Gospel or not, are condemned already. Only salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ can remedy this.
