There were Churches set up by Paul who didn't have chance to get to read the Torah or have many months input by Paul, those you mentioned and these Churches should have one thing in common, The Holy Spirit.
When we are called then we make the choice to accept and become chosen, we get baptised and are buried with Christ and then raised with Him to newness of life, we ask the Holy Spirit to live within us and we move forward to the Kingdom. Did not Jesus say He would teach us? Did not Jesus say that the Holy Spirit would take from what is of Him and would make it known to us? I admit these things are simple, but the Holy Spirit is anything but simple. I believe what Jesus has said.
If someone gets saved in a missionary context where is the missionary? Is he not only doing half his work? A lot like visiting evangelists today, they come get paid and go. Paul never did that if he could help it, and when he couldn't help it he knew Jesus had things under control.
I know Jesus will have things under control it is His church, do you really believe Jesus will leave us as orphans?

We have to make a distinction between salvation and sanctification.
Both are work of God...one by the blood....the other by walking with the Holy Spirit.
We can't judge others in their walk, but if they have Christ and His Holy Spirit, then we know God will lead and save them to the upmost,
