No I believe people can still be saved after the rapture, but they will not able to freely worship as we do today. And since they will not take the mark of the beast, they will not be allowed to buy or sell anything. And I believe it's really going to happen.
So if millions of people vanish out of thin air, people are going to get the idea. There will be people say "Oh this was in the bible yadda yadda.." and I'd say a lot of people will then turn to Christianity. (If this wasn't fictional of course.)

I think some will get the idea and some still won't believe. I do no believe it's fiction, but I believe the Bible.
First, I believe in the rapture. Second, yes, there will be opportunity for those not saved at that time to become saved and turn their lives to Christ. How many is debatable. I fear, sadly, that many people will just accept any explanation other than the biblical rapture. Their hearts will be too hard to see and understand what happened and will accept a secular explanation, so as to remain unaccountable for their lives to the life giver.
"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'
"'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'
"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "
Someone has already risen from the dead, Jesus Christ. People hear this and know this but still they do not believe or heed what Jesus has said. The same holds true for the time of the rapture. There will be those left behind who will see it, will know it was foretold in the Bible, but won't accept the truth of what is happening and still refuse to believe.

Let's pretend that the rapture story is really going to happen.
Are people able to be saved after the rapture, or are the screwed forever?
HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE RAPTURE'S ORIGIN
Let us initiate this study with the words of one of today's most prolific and anointed writers, J. Preston Eby. Without his diligent research of these long forgotten facts, the expose of the Rapture's Origin would be incomplete, to say the least. He writes: "It wasn't until the early or mid 1800's that there was any significant group of believers around the world that looked for a "rapture" of the Church prior to a seven-year tribulation period. It may come as a shock to some who read these lines, but it is a fact, nonetheless, that the "rapture" teaching was not taught by the early Church, it was not taught by Church of the first centuries, it was not taught by the Reformers, it was not taught by anyone (except a couple of Roman Catholic theologians) until about the year 1830. At the time of the Reformation, the early Protestants widely held and were convinced the Pope was the supreme individual embodiment and personification of the spirit of antichrist, and the Roman Church, the Harlot System of Revelation seventeen. This understanding was responsible for bringing millions of believers out of the Roman Catholic religious system. It therefore became expedient for certain Romish theologians to turn the attention of the people away from the Papacy, and this they endeavored to do by inventing a counter-interpretation to that held by the Protestants. This new scheme of prophetic interpretation became known as futurism.
Someone has already risen from the dead, Jesus Christ. People hear this and know this but still they do not believe or heed what Jesus has said. The same holds true for the time of the rapture. There will be those left behind who will see it, will know it was foretold in the Bible, but won't accept the truth of what is happening and still refuse to believe.
That's my opinion anyhow. Blessings
You, and others, may THINK this, but no one knows this as a fact. I see no reason why I should accept this as truth.
Why not accept Allah as the truth? Why not worship the Hindu god Krishna as truth? No one knows which is right.
