Good try though want to say there in a small village in the rainforest, and there names are still Larry and Bob.
Western civilization is not littered with any one specific form of Christianity. There are a plethora of different brands of Christianity and none of them have the same view of salvation.
But this goes back to my more basic point, God is justified in sending unbelievers to hell because they rejected his revealed revelation in nature. This is why God's can send pre-Gospel natives to hell.
If it's a person's own fault he goes to hell, then witnessing is pointless because the person can't be blamed if the other person goes to Hell. He could choose the keep the gospel a secret it makes no difference. But if you say that keeping the gospel a secret is wrong, then you're saying the preaching the Gospel might increase the number of saved people (i.e. it does make a difference). If this is so, then some people go to Hell because of the fault of others not sharing the information of the Gospel.
