It depends what mood I'm in.
I might ignore him. Or I might give him a wave and then keep walking.
If I stopped to talk, I'd ask him how many good deeds you need to do, how exactly someone qualifies as a good person, and who is the judge who decides if someone's good or not. Is it a specific deity, or something like nature, just a power which knows? Then when I've got some idea about his religion, I'd probably ask why he's right, and everyone else is wrong, and what things he has been doing to be a good person.
Interesting idea. I know most would write the person off. But I like the idea because it reminds me of how a religion can be dreamt up in a few hours.
You could take your 'good person' religion to the street, print some pamphlets, and assuming you had at least a little charisma, a lot of energy and no fear of rejection, you end up with some followers.
Or to avoid having to be creative, just take the tooth fairy and change the characters
