The people of Peru just as all the native Americans and peoples groups had people within their tribes who believed in the Savior who was coming. The promised seed, they believed God and that faith just as the faith of Abraham was counted for Righteousness. God's Gospel has gone out even through the scattering of Nimrod's time. Those who were scattered had a remnant of believer's in every peoples group.
Genesis 11:
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Do you believe there was only one group of these scattered who believed the savior was coming? Isaiah 1:9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
How were the Old Testament Believers saved? Just like we are they believed in a Savior only they believed in one who was coming, we believe in a Savior who has come. Do you believe that because they haven't heard Jesus is the Savior that they aren't saved? If they believe as old Testament Saints in a savior who is coming aren't they saved? Let's see what we can find, Acts 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, 2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
These 12 had not heard of Jesus but had believed the preaching of John the Baptist, when they heard of Jesus they followed in scriptural water baptism. They were already saved, already headed for heaven, they hadn't heard about Jesus but they believed a savior was coming as did everyone in the old Testament.
God scattered them at Babel and yet Paul states in Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. There is a Remnant in this world today, Paul in Romans 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. Mounce shows this for the word world here:
οἰκουμένη (oikoumenē)
Strong: G3625
GK: G3876
some list as a participle, the habitable earth, world, Matt. 24:14; Rom. 10:18; Heb. 1:6; used, however, with various restrictions of meaning, according to the context, Lk. 2:1; Acts 17:6; meton. the inhabitants of the earth, the whole human race, mankind, Acts 17:31; 19:27; Rev. 3:10. Some view this word as a participial form of οἰκέω.
The words of God's messengers have gone out to the entire world, so there are none who haven't heard the gospel and had a an opportunity to be saved. -

Hogwash.
Rom 9:11 For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;
In other words, there was nothing in Jacob that put him ahead of Esau, nothing lacking in Esau that caused him to lag behind Jacob. They were both equally corrupt. God chose based on His own purpose. -

Rev mac,
No one around the world knew of Jesus or the cross
There is no indication of this.
Isa1:9 is speaking of a remnant from one chosen nation.....Israel. -
God knew Adam would fall before the world was created.Sounds like He "knew beforehand" exactly what Adam would do. Or was that God didn't know hat Adam would do but planned just in case He fell? Since He is Omniscient He knows all right down to the number of hair on our head. -
The Great Spirit came to their souls they anticipated a Great Spirit to come. Did they also have medicine men who falsely believed in witchcraft yes. But a remnant believed in a Savior coming. Just as all peoples have those same beliefs. Those in Acts whom Paul came upon hadn't heard of Christ but had believed John's testimony of the one coming. Are you saying those twelve weren't saved until they heard of Christ? Believe on the Savior and call upon The Great father to say I believe HE is coming. -

You are misusing the term Remnant very badly.
Heathen praying to a totem pole when not praying to Jesus they were praying to a demon Spirit behind the totem pole.
No one in other countries or even in America is still waiting for promise of a seed to come that is your own theological Fantasyland. -

Luther taught FAITH ALONE you didn't have to personally do anything. The hypocrisy is he does too much. He's a catholic priest who concludes his own faith is wrong. Well did he become a catholic priest for NOT believing the catholic faith? why all the deception?
He should have been a Muslim. He would have been a Imam, Muslim priest , oh hey guys our faith is wrong don't think this how Islam works. So let ME tell yo how its suppose to work.
If he had the correct faith all along in a lineage that makes sense. But he's just a nobody who not only agrees but gets ordained.
Someone goes to ENGLAND to learn ENGLISH, Becomes a ENGLISH Teacher even and then tells those in England that is not how English is spoken at all. So to resolve this I am starting a new language Lutharish and God can thank me. -
Abel, Not Cain
Isaac, Not Ishmael
Jacob, Not Esau
Ephraim, not Menesah
Grace, not Law
NT, not OT
Christ, not Adam
God Chooses the method and means, the Testament and Nation.
GOD CHOSE CHRIST TO BIRTH HIS FAMILY, NOT ADAM
It has to do with Birth right/Begotten-ness and Christ being Heir of All things--before the foundation of the world. -

ROMANS 9!!!
Unless of course, you realize that he's not talking about Individual SALVATION. God Chose Israel, not Edom...and He used Egypt as a way to Demonstrate His Power and Sovereignty.
Psalm 135
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His special treasure.
5 For I know that the Lord is great,
And our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatever the Lord pleases He does,
In heaven and in earth,
In the seas and in all deep places.
7 He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
He makes lightning for the rain;
He brings the wind out of His treasuries.
8 He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt,
Both of man and beast.
9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt,
Upon Pharaoh and all his servants. -

Paul is addressing the statement, "God, it's not fair how you are treating Israel."--Regardless if you look at that positively or negatively. Read the Last parts of the Chapter--God is bringing judgment on Israel because they sought to be justified by the Works of the Law..Romans 9:30-33
Romans 10:21
Also, It was to address the Question...What do you mean Christ is the means for salvation? Not being part of Israel?

Paul's use of "Children of God" in v. 8 negates your entire presupposition about the passage.
