What I will say to these un-Believers is that they need to see that they are being given an opportunity to Save themselves
I don't need saving. Saving from what? Here's an idea, keep your religion as a personal thing. Do you see others here trying to convert you, telling you that you are on the wrong path? Nope, it's just you. I do good for my own sake not because I'm scared of something.

You think Christians do good because they're scared of something? I don't think so.
Let's see if I can throw a monkey wrench in this discussion. The question was "Can a non-Christian truly do good in the sight of God," not can an "unbeliever" do good in the sight of God? If you believe the account of Cornelius in Acts 10 I'd have to say yes, a non-Christian can truly do good in the sight of God.
Quote:
"Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right."
Me too. Love for God the Father, His Son (our Savior), and the Holy Spirit.
And for me, there is no other way!
Count me in too!!! There truly IS No Other Way! God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit! The Holy Trinity is our ONLY Hope and Our Salvation that comes from God the Son!
"Can a non-Christian truly do good in the sight of God? Why or why not?"
The key phrase is "in the sight of God, " and skygem, DeMaria have answered that using the Bible, God's own words.
Can non-believers do good? Sure they can. In my eyes, in the eyes of their fellow human beings, sure, absolutely. But Romans 3:23.
Good question kick...
And let's not forget the following Very Important Scripture concerning un-Believers! The Lord speaks to every Believer who would want to coddle an un-believer who will not change from his/her unrighteous ways.
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath Light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? On what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." -- 2 CORINTHIANS 6:14-18 (KJV)
Also Jesus' instructions when He sent the apostles out.
Matthew 10:11-14
"Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave. As you enter the home, give it your greeting. If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town."
