At the risk of oversimplification myself I will summarize:

A)A person must be placed in a position to receive the gospel in order to be saved - that is why evangilizing, witnessing and missions are so important
B)What you said is not true, the minister will make a huge difference and without somebody to share the message how can we be saved? However it is God who will make the ultimate difference through the work of regeneration via the HS as to whether one will respond and ultimately be saved.
C)Not true, see B.
