Clearly non-saved Christians can do good things. However, note their condition that our Lord stated. They were still viewed by God as being "evil". Unless they come to Christ, they can never please God. The "good things" you speak of are humanistic actions of this world; they are not spiritually-beneficial nor God-pleasing, as you further explained.
Anything that is not of faith is sin. (Romans 14:23)

Unless they come to Christ, they can never please God. Ezactly correct, as God is holy and no sin can enter his presence. That is the purpose of the wedding garment spoken of in Matthew 22, 11-12
