It wasn't done to be kind. Em putting her on a pedestal for that is immature and weak. She shouldn't ignore morality because someone who saved her deemed murder and slaughter okay. A lot of teenagers are really immature and stupid about things like that, and Em and Merc are still teens apparently (JJ said Merc is a teen, I assume Em is too). Emerald lived a morally gray life where she was doing bad things for survival. I don't think she cares why Cinder saved her, just the mere fact that Cinder saved her and gave her an opportunity to live without fear of starving. Even after the fall of Beacon is over with, Cinder has kept Em and Merc around even though she, herself, can't go on missions anymore and everyone knows Merc and Em's faces.
