An unsaved soldier jumping on a grenade to save his friends is a good act. Or an unsaved firefighter saving a baby from a burning building.

Good does not mean meritorious and I think that God's commmon grace allows these acts and that God even gives the strength in the unbeleiver to prform these acts.

Of course, there is enough sin in the prayers of the saints to damn them.... but I do think we can call some acts "good" whoever they are performed by, even if only a civil good.
