A person is excused by ignorance only if they are completely isolated from the world, receiving no news or information, and are unaware of the Prophet's mission or anything about Islam. This applies to someone living in a remote area with no access to religious knowledge.
Major shirk, like invoking others besides Allah or sacrificing to other than Allah, expels a person from Islam and makes them a disbeliever. Minor shirk, such as swearing by other than Allah or showing off, is a grave sin but does not expel one from the religion.
