And I'm still left a bit confused by your explanation. Can there not still be a spectrum of "wrongness"? For example, I believe that, although they may both be wrong, murder is more wrong than swearing at my grandmother.
Also, haven't there always been lots of people who are not familiar with christianity?
[My apologies for going so far off topic. I'm curious about this idea though.]

Maybe we should take this to PM?
But the simple answer is no. To the divine, there is no spectrum. As humans we have qualified sin and may a hierarchy of wrongs, murder is worse than petty theft.
To point about all being sinners not criminals, in the eyes of God when we sin, (a child disobeys it's parents) that isn't criminal, but it's sinful.
