Hello LeeLoving, first off, here are a couple of Q & A's for you to consider.
We cannot know who will and who will not come to saving faith, so we witness and preach the Gospel to everyone. ~Arminianism
We cannot know who the elect are until they've come to saving faith, so we witness and preach the Gospel to everyone. ~Calvinism
God bless you!
~Deut
p.s. - I do not believe that there is a better answer to your OP question, "should Christians pray for those who are not saved", than this one, by the Calvinist Pastor/Theologian Charles H. Spurgeon. Personally, I will always be EXTREMELY grateful, and thankful to the Lord, for the many who prayed for my salvation.
