Can a person a non-party lawfully distribute GPL software?

I don't understand your question about a "non-party".

By *definition* someone who distributes GPL software is a party to
the GPL contract of adhesion.

You accept the non-voidable terms of the GPL by copying and/or
distributing any code proffered to you under the license.
