Died in Their Ignorance

refer in this text to Moro. 8:22; 2 Ne. 9:25-27

“If a person never had the opportunity to know anything about the plan of salvation, then surely he should not be held accountable for his deeds in the flesh on an equality with the man who knew the truth and then refused to obey it. Thousands of these people who lived in this ignorance were devout and faithful to the doctrines which they had been taught. They cannot be held accountable for their actions which were done in faith and obedience to that which they devoutly believed and had been taught.” (Joseph Fielding Smith, Answers to Gospel Questions, 4:77)
