Consider this: An alien intelligent species in no way resembling the human species exists on another world, all created by God.
This species has no concept of murder, theft, gossip, adultery, jealousy, envy, and homosexuality. They also have no concept of justification, faith, forgiveness, confession and sacrifice. How would human Christians save them without these concepts having been experienced, let alone imagined?

If they couldn't save them, they'd do what they've done throughtout history.
Three guesses what that would be.

Well lets see.... First of all unless they are robots then they are not intelligent. You have to know good from bad, that's pretty basic. Much more so than say... faster-than-light space travel.
Second, if somehow they really could not understand such concepts than you probably wouldn't need to try to convert them anyways. Why, you say? Cause he who is without the law, is judged without the law. In other words God is perferctly just, He knows if you know right from wrong, and if you don't He's not going to damn you for somthing you don't understand. It's like saying someone who is mentally retarded, or maybe a very young child is going to go to hell if they die. Even though they haven't accepted Christ they aren't because these people are not yet accountable before God. It is called the law of accountability.

Read Robinson Crusoe and how he converts the pagan native Friday and turns him away from cannibalism and teaches him about the Judeo-Christian God and later Jesus. While Friday is mostly ignorant of evil he possesses an innate knowledge of all things good and quickly proves a worthy Christian. There is good in all knowledgeable beings and tapping into that natural goodness would be a good place to start with the aliens if one were going to try to save them. Start by relating to what they already do know or experience and work from there.

Well, I believe this to be impossible. If they DID exist and were somehow this oblivious to sin, they probably wouldn't have fallen into sin as man has.
But if you must preach to them for some reason, WHACK them in the forehead with a bible and tell them when they wake up that it was the holy spirit. Just like a charismatic church! XD

Simple. Whatever the aliens do now would be considered sinful by Christians therefore they would have a reason to "save" them.

if the aliens have free will and god created them in his likeness, then they are bound to murder, jealousy, theft, etc. just like humans. creatures w/ free-will tend to rebel thus sin>

It sounds like they don't need saving! We would only mess them up! Wouldn't it be great if our world was like the alien world you described!?!

They don't need to be saved, Noone needs to be saved, And it is none of your business to meddle in the lives of others, human or otherwise.
