I deny that men can know the way of Salvation outside of God's Word except in very special circumstances.

Men know there is a God by the Creation and by the very fact that they have a conscience that plagues them for doing wrong even when they have seared it and done their best to kill it. They do not however know God as a Saviour except they hear the Gospel:

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Also:

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Spiritual "Hearing" of the Spiritual Word of God.

Not carnal hearing.
