If by that you mean in a saving relationship and experiencing salvation blessings I agree with you. But how can the inner voice of the Spirit not, at least in some sense, be in the unbeliever? The other issue would be that if Christ accomplished salvation in the eyes of the Father before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1) would he not be in the pre-believer already since God exists both in and out of time?
