The context of Romans 1:18-32 makes clear that Paul indeed is referring to the Gentile world at large.

Believers have the law, the old law is to love your neighbor; Leviticus 19:17-18, the literal summation of the old law is such; Deuteronomy 10:19, which is specifically what Christ and Paul preached; Matthew 7:12, Romans 13:8-9.

That also makes clear that since Paul says "which have not the law" he is clearly talking about, lawless, people, as he spelled out in detail in the words before those. A couple very important things must always be considered when reading Paul.

1. He liked to talk a lot, the Bible makes note of it; Acts 20:9.

2. The chapter and verse numbers were not included by Paul, they were added centuries later, originally it is one continuous letter.

3. Peter specifically, the Holy Spirit through Peter, specifically said that some of the things Paul said are hard to understand. 2 Peter 3:15-16.

And Paul himself writes at the end of Romans that his writing is bold and for the purpose of the Sanctification of the Gentiles.

Romans 15:16-18

Therefore Romans should not be understood as an introduction to the "gospel" the introduction to the good news is what Christ preached, Matthew 5 through 7, Luke 6:27-49, and the end of the matter, for believers, should also be what Christ preached; Rev. chapters 1 - 3.

Sorry, I see that we are not on the same page regarding this topic and I wish not to enter into an argument. You are vague in your explanation and have given a mixture of verses that fits your perception. One must have a discipline of Christian theology that could formulate an orderly, rational, and coherent account of the doctrines of the Christian faith (called systematic theology); otherwise, it is not sound.
