Romans 10:9
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Paul speaks of the raising of Christ from the dead as an established objective fact (irrespective of subjectivism), and, of which, one may benefit salvifically by believing. It is equivalent to what Paul says in Hebrews 2:9 that, 'he might taste death for everyone.' So, whether someone believes it or not, Christ's resurrection is a fact.
There is no suggestion that anyone is excluded from its intended salvific benefit in an unconditional way. If Christ did not die for all men then He was not resurrected for all men, and would have meant Paul could not have chosen to use such words as he did.
