Does Matthew 25:31-46 teach that non-Jews who never heard about Jesus during their lifetime can be saved?

I ask this in Christianity (rather than in Hermeneutics), because I want answers to reflect the whole Bible, not Matthew 25:31-46 in isolation. > All the nations will be gathered before him, and he [Jesus] will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats - Matthew 25:32 > Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world" - Matthew 25:34. **Point of View** I am looking for responses from the point of view of those who believe that those who reject Jesus in this life will be condemned. **Non-Issues** 1. I believe that *ethnos* in Matthew 25:31 means Gentiles rather than all nations including the Jews; but if you disagree, I still would appreciate your answer to my question.

I am not interested in whether or not the sheep would need to accept Christ after death. 3. I am not interested in whether condemnation is eternal punishment or annihilation. (This question is similar to Jon Schneider's question of 8/26/11, but I have added four limitations which I hope will result in more focused answers).Jon Schneider's question
