Heb 11:6
(6) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Any mercy or work performed without faith through Christ might qualify as human good, enduring a moment to perhaps even a couple of centuries, but at the Great White Throne Judgment will fail to qualify or comply to the standards of Divine righteousness.

Such works shall be burnt up resulting in a good which eternally is a good for nothingness.

On the contrary faith without love is nothing,

The concept of being "pleasing to God" by faith alone is a Pauline innovation, as Christ never taught that. You will find the term "pleasing God" or "pleasing Lord" or "pleasing to Him" in Pauline Epistles and in Pauline-like deuterocanonical NT books such as Hebrews and 2 Peter, both of which are of uncertain authroship and of a much later date, and which, naturally, were the books that took the longest to accept (and we really don't know why they were accepted, whether it was for their entirety or for some key statements).

The issue of something being true in a Christian sense is whether it agrees with what Jesus taught in the Gospels. For Christians, Christ is the standard against which the enitre Bible is compared; not the other way around.

Those who are ignorant of Christ by no fualt of their own are not guilty of rejecting Chirst. There is a difference.

That doesn't take away that all good comes from God, regardless if it is from a believer or not. There is no nsuch thing as "human good."
