"5. Jesus dwells among those who call on him without having known him; among those who, after beginning to know him, have lost him through no fault of their own; among those who seek him in sincerity of heart, while coming from different cultural and religious contexts (cf. Lumen gentium, n. 16). As disciples and friends of Jesus, become agents of dialogue and collaboration with those who believe in a God who rules the universe with infinite love be ambassadors of the Messiah you have found and known in his "dwelling", the Church, so that many more young people of your age may be able to follow in his footsteps: their way lighted by your fraternal charity and by the joy in your eyes that have contemplated Christ."

Plus, from Vatican II's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church:

"Nor is God far distant from those who in shadows and images seek the unknown God, for it is He who gives to all men life and breath and all things, and as Savior wills that all men be saved. Those also can attain to salvation who through no fault of their own do not know the Gospel of Christ or His Church, yet sincerely seek God and moved by grace strive by their deeds to do His will as it is known to them through the dictates of conscience." http://www.americancatholic.org/Newsletters/CU/ac1000.asp
