You are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. Caring for the poor is a fruit of the spirit a symptom of a person’s salvation. It’s like a headache from brain cancer the headache isn’t deadly, but it’s a symptom of the cancer. Caring for the poor, widows, and orphans are symptoms of salvation not the salvation itself.

Romans 5:9 King James Version (KJV)

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Galatians 5:22-23 King James Version (KJV)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Well, either way, people who are saved do good works. And if they don't their Faith is for nothing i.e. dead

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead
