"The servant who knows the master's will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.
But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
Luke 12:47-48

For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law.
They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
This will take place on the day when God judges people's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
Romans 12:13-16

"But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
Revelation 21:8

And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:15

dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9

For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22

remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
Ephesians 2:12

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
Acts 4:12

I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins."
John 8:24

And to Adam He said: "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree from which I commanded you not to eat, cursed is the ground because of you; through toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
Genesis 3:17

Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope,
that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
Romans 8:20-24




There are a few reasons your claim is wrong:

1. All are subject to death and separation from God by the result of Adam's sin, without the intervention of Christ. You have things backwards. You are blaming Christ coming onto the scene for bringing condemnation for those who don't believe, but you fail to realize that they were already condemned men on death's row whom Christ came and offered a way out to.

2. You do not escape judgement for your sin by claiming ignorance. The servant in the parable didn't escape punishment out of ignorance, he just got less punishment.
Further, we see men know in their heart that they are violating God's law even if they don't know God. They are not without guilt, and are judged accordingly. And all will be lost without Christ because no one was capable of following God's law but Christ. Which is why we need Christ to pay our sins for us and transform us to be like Him.
It also is those who do not know God that are cast into the lake of fire, not merely those who know of God but reject His offer.
