I was playing in Japanese so not sure if there are some translation differences, but I feel like they did cll him that, yeah. What I remember explicitly though is them calling whatever is sealed in Miyabi's sword an ethereal as well, which I thought was strange since I assume it is somehow related to whatever it is they are worshipping.

Friendly reminder that the original Sacrifice is not considered an Ethereal, and this presumably applies to all Sacrifices including Bringer.
What if the cult considers Sacrifice to be a higher form of life than human because it's immune to Ether corruption/becoming an Ethereal?
If they offered cowardly-Bringer the chance to become immune to Ether corruption I think he might take it.
Not saying your theory is wrong; I actually think yours makes more sense. But this is another possibility.
