By what measure are you using to define 'decent person?'
'decent person' is a sliding scale, that means one is only better than the worst among your social group. Or borrowing from my Zombie metaphore the 'decent' are those who have the virus, but have not 'turned.'
Their were 'decent' prision camp Nazis. Oscar shindler comes to mind. Their are 'decent' members of ISIS, or so would say their mothers. The word 'decent' can mean anything, it is not a set or absolute standard.
Our works or ability to be decent (good bad or indifferent) is that train headed to Hell. Why because everything has been infected with sin/Zombie virus that is on that train. Which the only way to be rid of it is either hell fire, or the cure Jesus offers in the way of atonement.
You may want to say Because you have not 'turned' (into a zombie) or because you feel fine you do not need the shot or series of shots to cure you of this virus. Bottom line though, if you are on the train your already infected, and the only way off is either to be rid of the virus through hell fire or though the cure Jesus offers.
Someone like the OP may say 'that's not love' and to a degree they are right. That is not love for the infected, but at the same time why should their be love for the infected if the refuse the cure? Where would the love be, if God allowed the 'unturned' infected to mingle with the cured/saved? It is only a matter of time before the infected turn, and when we are with God on the other side, we will have nothing but an abundance of time. In essence God will have placed a ticking time bomb among those who love Him with all they have been given. It's already happened once with Lucifer and a 1/3 of the population of angels. Time allowed the sin virus to fester in their systems, which 'turned' angelic being into demons.
