To be counted righteous, Christ's righteousness has to be imputed on us. If so, why then was Cornelius said to be righteous in Acts 10:22 yet he was yet to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior?

Could there be another way righteousness is worked? If so, how is it yet it is only through Christ that we are counted righteous? Could Cornelius have been a special case?
