An answer.
For you, my dear friend Night Shade2. I believe that all people gain the reward they deserve in the afterlife. We believe that all people can accept Christ's Gospel either in this life or in the next, especially if, for any number of reasons, they didn't get to in this life. All Christians--those people who accept and follow Christ and His word--will have a degree of glory for exceeding this world. We do believe that a person has to accept the fulness of Christ's Gospel to attain a fulness of glory. If a person is truly seeking God and His truth, you will find it. When you're seeking the truth, God's word--not man's--is what matters. He will bring it to you most often through those people who already have it, but you must decide through Christ's Spirit if something introduced to you by another human is God's truth. Your salvation is between you and the Lord.
We are not breathing fire and brimstone at all others, believing that we are chosen and they are not. We are trying to help our fellow men find God's truth and reach salvation, as we should be doing. Not every person is perfect in that goal, but that is the goal of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I hope this helps.
"Recounting the faith of that great band of early Saints, Elder Ben E. Rich said, 'This country was unknown to them. They believed that God had given to President Young a vision of the future home for the Latter-day Saints. They had faith in their leader, and they were willing to go into the unknown with him. . . . Who should ever forget the faith, . . . the bravery, of those who had such confidence in Brigham Young as to follow him into these valleys of the mountains' (in Conference Report, Apr. 1911, 104). As modern-day pioneers looking to the future, we must be willing to go into the unknown, having the same confidence and commitment in following President Hinckley and the other constituted authorities of the Church."
~ James E. Faust, "Pioneers of the Future: 'Be Not Afraid, Only Believe,' " Ensign, Nov. 1997, 44-45
