Dear Anonymous, in context of this Scripture in Romans 10:14-15, the Apostle Paul is referring to Israel who Jesus Christ was sent to preach the good news of the kingdom of heaven. 

Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."

Please see Revelation 5:9-10, where it speaks of every tribe, tongue, people and nation.

Also, Revelation 7:9, speaks of the multitude before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, etc.

Everyone will hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, and have the opportunity to receive or reject the grace of God that came through His Son!

A person must explicitly hear the gospel and personally trust in Jesus Christ to be saved. (1 Timothy 2:5) -- "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."

Prominent proponents include R.C. Sproul, John Piper, James Borland, and Todd Miles. They argue that while general revelation (creation and conscience) is sufficient to make humanity aware of God's existence, it is not sufficient to save. Given human sinfulness, people are already condemned based on general revelation alone. Therefore, evangelism is absolutely vital, as it is the only ordained means by which people can hear the life-giving message of Christ.

What about those who never hear the gospel (Romans 10:14-15)?

However, how will they call on him in whom they have not put faith? How, in turn, will they put faith in him of whom they have not heard? How, in turn, will they hear without someone to preach? 15 How, in turn, will they preach unless they have been sent forth? Just as it is written: “How comely are the feet of those who declare good news of good things!”

How is Matthew 24:14 being fulfilled today?
Jesus foretold: “This good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth.” (Matthew 24:14) 

What efforts do we make to preach to people?
Preaching wherever there are people. Like first-century Christians, we preach “from house to house.” (Acts 5:42) 

Jean Bernardi, a professor at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France, noted: “[Christians] were to go out and speak everywhere and to everyone. On the highways and in the cities, on the public squares and in the homes. Welcome or unwelcome. To the poor, and to the rich encumbered by their possessions.... They had to take to the road, board ships, and go to the ends of the earth.”

But yes, what about those who may not have a chance to hear the good news before the great tribulation strikes?

The Bible states that Goid and Jesus “do not desire anyone to be destroyed.” Instead, he wants “all to attain to repentance.” (2 Pet. 3:9; 1 Tim. 2:4)

We must acknowledge that God as of yet has not yet revealed to us what he will do in answer to this question. For example, we know that at Armageddon, people will be dealt with on the basis of how they have treated Christ’s brothers. (Matt. 25:40) 

It is unthinkable that God would automatically label as “goats” millions of people who live in lands where they never had an opportunity to respond to the Kingdom message. (Matt. 25:46) The righteous Judge of all the earth cares even more about these individuals than we ever could. We do not know how God will maneuver events during the great tribulation.

What ever happens we can be confident that Jehovah[the God of the Bible] will judge each individual in a perfectly balanced, righteous, and merciful way because as the scriptures tell us he does not require anyone to die" 2 Pet. 3:9;

Your question: What about those who never hear the gospel (Romans 10:14-15)?

You know, I asked this very same question when I was a very young Christian. I basically received the same answer as you have. My pastor assured me that God will provide. However, the truth to the answer lies in the scriptures, which cannot be comprehended by a single verse. It requires profound wisdom, which can only be obtained from the Lord. 

First, you must come to understand the book of life and its origin. Secondly, you must come to understand why the Apostle wrote that death reigned from Adam to Moses. 

Romans 5:14: “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses.”

Then you must come to understand Hell and its origin. Then you must come to understand the three groups that stand at the Great White throne judgment: Death, Hell, and those in the Sea.

Revelation 20:13: “And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.”

Then you must come to understand what is written as follows:

Revelation 21:1: “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.”

Then you must come to understand the words of the Apostle when he said Christ went to preach to those in prison who were sometimes disobedient before the days of the flood:

1 Peter 3:19: “By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared.”

When you come to know these things, then you might understand what fate holds for all those who have not heard the Gospel if God gives you understanding.
