NLM: Confessing the Messiah: The Church's Confession of Christ in Jewish-Christian Dialogue - Bishop Müller's Statement Pt. II by Gregor Kollmorgen

Hence those people can be saved and attain final communion with God who through no fault of their own lack belief in Jesus Christ, indeed under certain circumstances even lack belief in the existence of a personal God as creator and consummator, but not – and this is decisive – without the grace of Christ working invisibly within them.

This seems possible, but how likely is it to happen in reality? I believe there was a theological opinion that while an explicit belief in Christ was not necessary, sort sort of belief in God was required. If one is thinking about being in the state of grace alone, and without mortal sin, it seems as it is possible to be saved and yet not have belief, so long as one did not deliberately reject the gift of faith. And yet, how can that person's life be rightly ordered, if it is not ordered to God, and how can it be ordered to God, if that person does not believe in the existence of God? Perhaps if one does the good out of duty alone, and this is not ordered to self-fulfillment, but to some good outside of himself.
