My comment:

in this case only, as I'm paraphrasing, there is not enough context to determine 1) whether the French makes sense, and 2) who "s'" and "leur" relate to.
My interpretation is: "mériter leur fidélité"

Yeah, "earn" trust or loyalty could work, too...like you said, depending upon more context.
