They could be believers IMO. How many times did the original 12 have to ask simple questions? In the King James Study Bible this Hebrews verse references back to Matthew verses.
Hebrews 13:2 KJVS
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Believers don't always know who they are being kind towards. Abraham, Lot, etc

Excellent point, Village Idiot! And whatever happened to, "No one comes to the father except through me."
Lately, we can forget about Jesus, because everything important goes through the Gobbling Buddies (sarcasm). They are so blasphemous, I'm waiting for a fireball from heaven to take them out!

Lieu,
Good point. In the traditional view, they will all be believers since Jesus will be here in the flesh as king of the world, after the Anti-Christ is defeated at Armageddon.
The question at that time won't be who believes and who doesn't. The question will be who gets to enter the kingdom on earth under King Jesus and who does not get to enter.
The church is long gone by this time, having been declared righteous by faith and not by works, raptured to heaven and ruling with Christ.
This left-over group, has the opportunity to avoid condemnation based on how they treated (viewed) Israel during the 7 year tribulation.
As King of Israel, Jesus will not allow subversives in.
