Must a person explicitly know, believe in, and confess Jesus during their lifetime in order to be saved through Christ?
The "sole source" of salvation remains Jesus Christ, but the "mechanism and scope" of obtaining salvation extend beyond the visible boundaries of the church.
God may, through conscience (general revelation) or after death, grant those who have never truly understood the gospel an opportunity to receive grace.
While affirming the "uniqueness of Christ's salvation," this perspective rejects the idea that "only Christians can be saved." Those who have not come to faith but obey the truth are, in fact, saved by the Christ they do not yet know.
