Or if it walks like a duck..... Or Sanya plays lip service to it for his own reasons, but the Almighty and the angel in charge of his Sword knows what is really in his heart.  I suspect the latter..

He doesn't have to believe.
He just has to be really, deeply, good... all the way down (and strong enough to bear the burden).

Just like Butters, whose Faith is evidently Jedi not Christian.

  I believe that is what I am saying.  However as far as Butters goes, he is Jewish I believe, and his faith in his religion and or heritage could be very strong. 

Back to the deep down point about Marcone, there was that little bit that Harry couldn't get to in the soul gaze.  There is that little bit that feels guilt and remorse over hurting a child.  That little bit says that redemption isn't totally out of the question for Marcone.

... Back to the deep down point about Marcone, there was that little bit that Harry couldn't get to in the soul gaze.  There is that little bit that feels guilt and remorse over hurting a child.  That little bit says that redemption isn't totally out of the question for Marcone.

There's also the scene in the Raith Deeps:  Harry asks him to help rescue the innocents, and Marcone responds "who do you think I am?!"  Harry replies, "Someone who can help.  Maybe the only person who can help.  Please, John."  And Harry gets through to him.

A redemption-arc for Marcone isn't out of the question.


Picture a scene in the BAT where Marcone is fighting (with Thorny's backing) against Outsiders.

Marcone has his back up hard against the wall, no viable escape (despite having Thorny in his pocket), about to die.

Dresden says to Marcone, "You know John, the deal with the Fallen isn't the only deal on the table..." and he offers Marcone the hilt of Amoracchius.
