Oh...my original point was the death penalty and their chance for being
saved...I don't even remember how we got off onto this tangent, but
let's keep going if you'd like.

I agree with you concerning babies and the mentally impaired. However,
people of other languages and races DO have a chance at the gospel.
Because they speak a different language that WE don't understand, we
can't assume that they don't know God. God reveals himself to people
regardless of nation or tongue. It's highly possible that people deep in
the jungles of distant countries HAVE the true gospel and ARE saved.
