You are getting the wrong idea from Patia, who was born and raised in Iberia. She does not reflect the feelings of Lateran-born Liberi, which is why Fiammetta does not understand her.
(The latest trailer for Laterano shows a racially-diverse children's school where the students all wear the same uniform, they sit among each other without segregation, and they're all equally cheerful.)
Iberians practice the Lateran religion but most of them never see Sankta or the city of Laterano. Iberians form exaggerated visions of what the city and its angels are like.
Patia immigrated to Laterano as if she thought she was ascending to heaven to become one of God's angels.
She's not even quoting passages from scripture that say such a thing is possible. This is entirely an idea cooked up by Iberians, not Laterans.
When she gets to Laterano, she learns that most Sankta are just really human goofballs. Goofballs who have no idea how to give new immigrants halos or the ability to use Patron Firearms.
And the most serious and knowledgeable Sankta are really uncomfortable about the subject of what makes the Sankta special, because the Sanktae's secret origin as "Sarkaz transformed by a machine" is always threatening to turn the world against them and plunge the angels back into the endless cycle of hatred and violence that plagues the Sarkaz.
"Sorry not sorry, but we don't want to talk about (or even KNOW, for most of us) why we can't make you an angel because we really don't want to become demons again. Please just enjoy the paradise we've built for ourselves from our blood, sweat, and tears."
So the Law just... sacrificed itself to give the Sankta a chance to live and keep their humanity admist the preset fate of all life on Terra getting assimilated into the stasis of originium. And then, against all odds, the Law returned from its "certain" end to be with the Sankta once again.
Interesting. How many days took it for the law to rise? Three?
One the one hand I kinda wish Arknights went more into why Laterano's whole setup is also bad for the Sankta themselves so chuds would stop latching onto it.
But on the other hand I also have massive respect for Lowlight for just going "I don't care how cool your ethnostate is for the in-group, that shit is inherently immoral"

You had no idea how you got to this city of bright lights and sounds. Music seems to pour in from every corner and building. The last thing you remember, is Doctor Loriann sent you to the rec-room and you decided to take a little nap. And now you're 'awake' in this bizarre and unknown city. What seems like thousands of people swarm the streets. Just where the hell are you?
"Excuse me? Are you lost?~" a sweet voice asks you.
You whip your head around to see a man with a halo... and wings sprouting from his head? Sankta have wings, yes, but never from their head... At least not the ones you've met, and you've met quite a few.
"U-Um... Y-Yeah..." you stutter out, unsure if talking to a stranger in a strange place is the best idea.
He looks at you, focusing his gaze on you. You can almost feel the deep set eyes burning into your soul.
"U-Uh... S-Sir...? Why are you-"
His stare grows harder before he looks away, letting out a sigh.
"Are you not a Halovian?"
"Ha-what? Is that some different title for a Sankta?"
"Sankta...?" he whispers under his breath. "You have a halo."
"Y-Yeah... I do..."
"So are you not a Halovian?"
"No."
His eyes seem to sharpen and a small scowl crosses his body.
He steps closer to you. You have no idea what he plans to do until-
He reaches out and touches your halo. You can't help but yelp at the cool touch from his gloved hands.
"So you can feel my touch."
You swat his hand.
"Of course I can!"
"Interesting..."
You push his away, trying to make space.
"A-Anyway, sir, do you know where I am?"
The man tilts his head confused.
"You're in Penacony."
"Pena-wha-? What's with all these names?! Never mind... D-Do you know how I got here?"
"... Did you not enter a dream pool?"
"Dream pool?! Are you-" you shake your head, now is not the time to be rude to someone, "No, no I didn't. The last thing I remember was being on the Rhodes Island Land Ship and going to take a nap."
"Rhodes Island...? I've never heard of that."
"What? Even very secluded people know of Rhodes Island..."
The man hums slightly.
"Interesting... it seems as though... we have a stowaway..."
"Stowaway?! I didn't even mean to come here!"
"Yes, I can clearly see that, however I still need to take you into custody for the protection of the Family and the citizens of Penacony. Though, as a head of the Family myself, I will be taking you with me. It's best if no one else knows of this, it might cause anxiety amongst the people."
"So I'm getting arrested... cool. Doctor, when I get back, you're getting kicked."
❥ Sunday doesn't understand how or why you got here. He monitors the coming and going of every person that enters the dreamscape, and the reverie.
❥ Sunday is confused. He tried to communicate with you through telepathy to keep the conversation privet, yet... you couldn't connect to him.
❥ Sunday keeps you under custody. That custody, however, his by his side at all times. He wants to understand what is with you.
❥ Sunday, who's every thought is slowing shifting to figuring you out. How did you come here? Where are you from? Why do you also have a halo? Why do you know nothing of Aeons and Paths?
❥ Sunday who can't help but itch wanting to pick you apart.
❥ Sunday who doesn't want to let you go, because if you do, he fears he may never see you again, he may never figure out this mystery.
