"For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood form what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened." (Romans 1:20)
People know about God, whether he's known as the Great Spirit, the big man upstairs, or even just a greater being. Although they know about him, they give themselves over to sinful desires and don't glorify God.
Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them. (Romans 2:14-15)
God is a righteous judge. So i'd say that if someone had never heard of Jesus but understood God, and knew that there was someone out there to account to, and then tryed to live for that accountenence, then they would be saved.
