Lalo can respect the need for religious observance, especially now. It's not like he doesn't wear his own Jesús Malverde pendant, tucked carefully into his shirt most of the time. The strange blend of traditional Mexican Catholicism and the neo-paganism of many drug traffickers informs Lalo's spirituality.
He won't begrudge this young girl for wanting to offer prayers to the dead. But that doesn't mean he's not going to take these corpses for all they're worth. As far as Lalo is concerned, if God didn't want him to rob these dead guys, he wouldn't have let Lalo get to the church so fast.
When Sam storms down to confront him, Lalo stands up, widening his stance, and just shrugs. It's not like he wasn't potentially expecting this kind of reaction. "Hell no, I'm not kidding," he answers. "Think of it this way. They're dead. What are they gonna do with any of it? This way we can take everything that might be useful, figure out what we've got here, and then give it out to whoever needs it the most."

Hey, it sounds logical to Lalo.
