If someone's life is in peril and you can save them with no risk to yourself, aren't you morally obligated to act? Especially if you hold the Golden Rule to be valid? Even moreso when it's not a life, but the eternal fate of someone's soul?

If not morally obligated, then at the very least highly motivated by compassion for others.
