Saints
Avernite:
Harry's had enough exposure to Faith magic that I think he would've noticed if any of the Senior Councillors present in Turn Coat's island battle were Saints.
Langtry, in VERY scary circumstances in the same book, also didn't seem to need faith magic, just excellent normal magic.
In Proven Guilty, Michael's presence provided power that the present Senior Councillors could not (and Michael is all Faith).
So to me, Gatekeeper is the obvious option, and would neatly answer the question "why are the Angels not providing any help at the Outer Gates?" (answer: they actually are, in the most effective manner they know, by empowering a mortal).
Snark Knight:
A few of Rashid's dialog lines seem to suggest he's a religious believer, although that's not definitive for him being the SC member who incorporates that into his magical practices.
Griffyn612:
It's hard to believe that a Saint would be influenced by the ink. You'd think that a Saint, if they were that powerful and possibly in communication with angels like Michael apparently does, would either be immune, or would be told what was happening.
That makes me think it's Rashid, who never seemed to be influenced. Not to mention all the other things that everyone else mentioned.

Could an Angle intervene? I dunno since it wasn't a Fallen using the Ink. Faith based magic seems like Soulfire. It really empowers your magic because you have such a strong belief. I dunno if that makes you omnipotent, and can sense things. I'd think it would just make the magic you did use very powerful.
Fcrate:
Rashid wasn't influenced because he wasn't there. In Steed's words: He's he only other wizard here that we see less than you.
Besides, I doubt his religious beliefs can accommodate saints.
