Difference between them is that, if the SW deem you an ally (Like the people of Armageddon who fought tooth and nail, whether they were in the Steel Legion or not) then they will not let you get killed and they will defend you as if you were part of their Chapter. If not, then they won't give a rats ass about you...unless a higher up tells them to kill all civilians. Because SWs do not take orders from non SWs :3

Now the Salamanders, on the other hand, those are the good guys of 40k. Technically the Space Wolves do care against soldiers who are deemed honorouble, respectful and couragus. Furthermore I heard that the Spacewolves were absolutley appauled and horrified at what the Inquisition did to the local populace. This action made the Spacewolves lose faith in the IoM. The Spacewolves ideology about Spacemarines protecting civilians and innocents from hostile forces, were betrayed by the actions of the First War for Armaggedon.

They are ruthless yes, but only ruthless in the battlefield, the Spacewolves are actually very honorouble and humble to any soldier, no matter IG or not. And trust me I don't think a Spacewolf spacemarine would dare harm a civilian, especially if that higher up turns out to be one of the most benevolent person in all of 40K.

There is a reason why the Spacewolves are rated second in the most bro-tier of all Spacemarine chapters. They might be savage and barbaric, but they will never betray or leave behind any people loyal to not only to the Emprah, but also to each other as well, such actions against this act is deemed dishonourable and disgusting by the Wolfies. :P
