People deceived from childhood into false belief are still accountable, but God's judgment is calibrated to what they genuinely could have known — general revelation (creation, conscience) remains available to everyone

Mike's nuanced answer: accountability is real but measured. God judges based on what a person could have known and should have known, not only what they were explicitly taught. Even the deceived person has (1) creation declaring God's glory, (2) the moral conscience, and (3) access to Scripture. If they have a Bible, they remain accountable for what it says regardless of how it was misrepresented to them. God knows each person fully and judges accordingly.
