Russian term or phrase: познаваемые
В догматический Конституции о Церкви он пишет: «Те, кто не по своей вине не знает Евангелия и Церкви, но все же ищет Бога искренним сердцем и под воздействием благодати стремится исполнять своими делами Его волю, познаваемые голосом совести, могут обрести вечное спасение». Это крайне важные слова, которые на самом деле являются тем самым богословским, теологическим фундаментом для диалога Католической церкви с другими религиями.

as they know it through the dictates of their conscience
Explanation:
Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience--those too many achieve eternal salvation.
