I agree that naure reveals God but it does not tell anyone that Jesus died for them.
So if belief in Jesus Christ is a requirement to escape an "eternal hell", most in the world have never heard of Him.

If there is a hell, what about all the people who have never heard the Gospel, Indians before the new world was discovered, people in the Congo, people in many parts of the world have never heard it even today, aborted babies, children who die at a very young age, the mentally ill, ect... If you think about about it most of the people who have ever lived fall into one of these categories, so what about all these billions and billions of people?
The scriptures reveal that God is the Savior of all persons. I believe that one day all will hear and all will believe and receive Him as Savior and Lord. God bless and peace.

You will not be sent to hell for rejecting a Gospel you have never heard of. You might be given a inner feeling as to if God exists, but you cant turn down salvation if it hasnt been presented to you.
So I ask again, is there another Gospel for these people?

That is a question i personally cant answer and only God himself will know. Im not sure what will happen to people like in 3rd world country's that have only heard Islam, Hindu, etc and have never heard the Gospel what will happen to them, but again that is God who makes those determinations since he created them.
Romans 1-3 is actually proving that everyone will be without excuse. By that the apostle Paul was showing that "ALL SIN AND ARE WANTING OF THE GLORY OF GOD." So they can't say they never sinned.
But look at the good news of Romans 3:21! The righteousness is FOR ALL and not only that but it is presently ON ALL who are believing.
Rom 3:21-23 Yet now, apart from law, a righteousness of God is manifest (being attested by the law and the prophets),
(22) yet a righteousness of God through Jesus Christ's faith, for all, and on all who are believing, for there is no
distinction, (23) for all sinned and are wanting of the glory of God.
Isn't that such good news? so good in fact that it makes you want to open your window and shout "It's my righteousness and I want it now!"?
Well, yea but it gets God off the hook for sending them to eternal damnation and hell fire. They earned it just like they earned eternal life without needing Jesus (according to their theology that is).

I get the feeling this is a subject the institutionalized church is not comfortable talking about.
