But let's not assume what that standard is. Mathew 25 has an interesting take regarding the final judgement. Just because someone isn't flying a Jesus banner doesn't mean they aren't a friend. In fact, considering how patient and welcoming Jesus was to sinners, we need to find common ground and make all the friends we can with the good people regardless of what they personally believe. It was never about being on the correct team. It has always been about seeking and doing what is right... And that's not as easy to find.
We are to give to the poor. When I was a child I thought we are to give money to those who are lacking but that is incorrect. What we are to is help those who are poor in spirit. I know too many non believers and I try to help them see the truth.
