If Trinity's MO is to recreate his family's murders, and kill INNOCENT people all the time, what does that have to do with Dexter not killing innocent people?

Trinity has been established as two faced and very intelligent. He is the master of covering up his crimes (the hands for houses or whatever) and still maintaining a normal life and family.

How is it not part of his MO to kill someone who might disrupt that? He isn't a standard serial killer. If someone is going to end his cycle and prevent him from being able to continue killing, then there is no reason to suspect that Trinity won't try and stop them. Just like he did with Lundy.
Dexter killing an Innocent would be breaking his MO. Trinity killing outside of the 3 would be breaking his MO.

Trinity in the first episode feels guilty and dirty after killing. He doesn't do it lightly or without planning. It is carefully scouted and methodically carried out looking for the right victim and the right location. Trinity doesn't kill because he likes to kill he kills like Dexter because he has to kill.

I don't see how Lundy fits and if he wanted to Kill Lundy he would have been the Bludgen victim. Anyway based on my view of who trinity is he wouldn't kill Lundy and is Dexter like in that he only kills because he has to rather than icebox who enjoyed it or Smitts who killed for revenge/personal gain.
