They are lost and will die with their sins unforgiven unless they hear the gospel and repent of their sins and put their faith in Christ. That is why Christians are commanded to tell others the gospel. Here are the last words Jesus spoke before he was taken up into Heaven.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Acts 1:8

And didn't Christ tell us to STOP praying in that "religious manner" as they do in church..??..
Here is what Christ said about how we should pray.

"And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you." Matthew 6:5,6

We are not to pray as a religious person prays to he god but as a child speaks to his father.
