Having received the Christian faith through love from people who are more on the FTS-2 side, I don't think it's a difficulty to believe that the FTS-2 people can be saved by faith or live faithfully.
CS Lewis had this analogy that we are puppets/toys learning to become real boys. Knowing that sin numbs and kills the soul, I think NPC status is linked to getting disconnected from God; and this suggests that connecting to God will do the opposite - we can become player characters if we join the hero's party. We were dead in sin but become a new creation in Christ.
God has a special care for the least and the humble. He had compassion on the multitudes who were like sheep without a shepherd, and he harshly rebuked the wicked shepherds who exploited the sheep and did not care for them as they ought.
As far as we see the world better, we have a Christian duty to care for those around us who don't.
