What you are teaching is not according to Baptist teaching. According to Baptist teaching anybody who is unsaved can pray to Jesus for salvation. That is why there are Altar Calls or Camp Meetings or Revival Meetings to get the unsaved saved by having them pray to Jesus for salvation.

The only way to communicate with Jesus is by prayer. And thus logically the only way to become saved is by praying to Jesus and ask Him to become ones Personal Savior. And just who do you think you are to state categorically that I am not saved? If Jesus did not respond to the prayers of the unsaved then nobody would become saved.

The UNsaved cannot pray.
God does not give the gift of prayer to every sinner.

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

John
I am sure many of these "prayed"

Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

OR Thought they did!!
