You also have to wonder if there is a cost of some sort that you eventually have to pay to gain the protection given by the Placard. Maybe something like his life force is tied to that location now.

That's your opinion.

Is opinion the right word here?
Hypothesis. As soon as it is testable and you can draw testable conclusions from it it becomes a theory. If it is confirmed sufficiently it becomes in practice a fact.
You doubt the validity of her hypothesis. In your opinion....
Proposed facts can be true, false or just unconfirmed. Opinion is more like a value attribute.
I would say your interpretation. Or maybe your, in my opinion, wrong or insufficiently supported, conclusions.
Opinions and facts are not interchangeable.

Lots of blood is associated with the Crucifixion, from the whipping, from the Crown of Thorns, from the nails in Jesus's wrists and feet, from the spear piercing His side. I think the smear of blood on the back of the Placard is tied to that somehow, pledge to sacrifice one's self maybe.

In that particular aspect, I disagree. Blood has been used to activate spells and artifacts, from circles to the Demonreach pokeballs, all around the Dresdenverse. That is, regardless of its rapport to Christ or christianity in general.
