That is a great post on the subject. I'll be sharing this soon with those I've had this discussion with in the past. Probably start another great round of conversation! Thanks again. Thanks, Lori!

*It is defined as*: *A person is not subject to the law of God until he or
she is mature enough to understand and to be responsible for behavior. *

This “age of accountability” is not pinpointed in Scripture as a specific
age—for obvious reasons: it naturally differs from person to person since it
depends upon a variety of social and environmental factors. Children mature
at different rates and ages as their spirits are fashioned, shaped, and
molded by parents, teachers, and life’s experiences.

This is a great post on just this subject (great question by the way)

I love what she said at the end, “Salvation requires an awareness of our
depravity and a mature understanding of sin, righteousness and judgment
before Almighty God.”

There isn't anything I or a few different friends of mine have found that shows an age of accountability in the Bible. If you know of a Scripture we've missed, I would LOVE to know it. It would clear up a few discussions. :) As for God reaching us, in the moment of death, I've said that for years - no one knows what happens in that moment right before death, no one has come back to fill us in. God is loathe to lose even one of us so I'm sure He offers every chance He can. I have really struggled with the “age of accountability” idea.
