7251. I have also been told regarding those people that when they lived on their planet they believed in some kind of Supreme Creator, but without a Mediator. These are the ones who undergo that kind of vastation, and are finally saved, having first been taught and accepted that the Lord is the only God, Saviour, and Mediator. I have heard them declaring that without the Mediator they could never be saved since they are defiled and unworthy. I have also seen some of them raised into heaven after their last sufferings were over, and when they were received there I experienced such exquisite gladness in them that it brought tears to my eyes.
