The moral law that is written on the heart of every man, that we choose whether or not to obey.

OK, but I think it's improper to divorce ostensible "good works" from God's pleasure. Even when the Jews did "good works" according to the Law, God regarded them as a stench in His nostrils because they were not done in faith. I would think God would not fail to be pleased at the site of truly good works, but under your definition of "objective" good works they are clearly not pleasing to God. As such I don't see how they can be considered truly good works. After all, that which is not of faith is sin.
