The non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) fundamentally invalidates the conventional bulk-boundary correspondence (BBC), leading topological diagnostics into a crisis. While the non-Bloch polarization $P_{\beta }$, defined on the generalized Brillouin zone, successfully captures momentum-space topology, a purely real-space characterization of non-Bloch topology has remained unclear. In this work, we establish a correspondence between $P_{\beta }$ and the entanglement polarization $\chi$ of the biorthogonal ground state, understood as a geometric and entanglement-based indicator rather than a physical electric polarization. By introducing a quasireciprocal Hamiltonian $\tilde{H}$, which removes the NHSE while preserving bulk spectrum and topology, we rigorously prove the fundamental identity $P_{\beta }\equiv \chi \left(\tilde{H}\right)(mod1)$ in the thermodynamic limit under the quasilocality assumption. Crucially, we demonstrate that this equivalence transcends the locality constraints that limit traditional topological invariants. While the conventional Resta polarization fails when $\tilde{H}$ becomes nonlocal due to the divergence of position variance, we reveal that $\chi \left(\tilde{H}\right)$ remains robustly quantized, protected by the Fredholm index of Toeplitz operators. Our work thus identifies entanglement as the unique real-space diagnostic capable of capturing non-Bloch topology beyond the breakdown of locality, successfully restoring the BBC across diverse non-Hermitian systems such as line-gap, point-gap, and gapless phases, thereby unifying the geometric and entanglement paradigms in non-Hermitian physics.
