Another thing: this apodictic knowledge will be immediate after the resurrection. There will be no repentance regarding the facts about God because they will know beyond question. It might be claimed that their repentance will consist of yielding to God - that will save them. But that is not being saved by faith. And there is nothing to prevent their immediate yielding and thus an immediate "ticket to heaven". And according to the universalist view, what reason would God have for keeping them there any longer?
Homer
The same reason that the eleven in the upper room were saved despite the fact they did'nt have so called apodictic faith. Apparently God is not satisfied until every sheep is found, not just 99.
"Later he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart , because they not believe those who saw him after he had been resurrected." Mark 16.14
So though without faith it's impossible to please God, his mercy and love outweighs his need to be pleased.

How will all the people who died before Christ be saved if not posthumously?
Re: How Will They Be Saved?
“Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." Abraham lived and died before Christ came. Jesus died for the sins of all who will ever be saved, including Abraham and all Old Testament saints.How will all the people who died before Christ be saved if not posthumously?
