Does God ever answer prayers from non-believers?

Does God ever answer prayers from people that aren’t Christian or even from other religions? From what I see, it looks as if Scripture tends to say no. For example: > We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. John 9:31 > The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. Proverbs 15:29 I'm not trying to answer my own question, but I’m wondering if there are some instances where: - God listens and responds to the prayers of a non-believer who prays to Him? AND: - God listens and responds to the prayer of people from other religions (i.e. someone praying to Buddha, Allah, etc) If anyone could shed some light or nuance on this subject that would be great. [I’m aware this may be a contentious subject depending on your specific beliefs, but for the sake of diversity of thought I don’t mind which denomination specifically answers. I think it’s an important question to be asking on this site, and I ask that nobody prematurely vote to close the question *unless* it gets out of hand. I’m happy to see other views I may not normally agree with as I think a variety of Christian thoughts are important. Let the voting system decide for itself] So this question isn’t overly opinion-based and gets closed, if you could include additional scripture or provide nuance on the ones I’ve quoted that would be great thanks.
