If I may intervene without causing misunderstandings, I would like to bring here another point of view, which however is very delicate, but not far from truth.
If we, orthodox people, are only 10% of the Christians and x% of the non-Christians,will it be correct for us to suppose that the other 90% will be certainly lost? Are we right when we think that if a certain person, Christian or not, haven't heard about orthodoxy but living his life according to God commandments...Romans 2:15...will he be lost as he is not orthodox? however me, an orthodox, having all the treasury at hand and living a Christian life so far from what would be expected...
However, those who know Orthodoxy and deny it- or even have the chance to know Orthodoxy but still rebuke, they are heretics and commit the sin of heresy; but how many are they? are they 90%?
Anyway, I think that this subject is so complex and we may relate to it only humanly; we do not know God's ways; and is not our business!
I found a true orthodox way of thinking in this regard, a patristic: the devil asked a simple monk 'who are the sheep and who are the goats?' ' I am the goat and God knows His sheep'
