If this has been covered, I apologize, but I thought the Heretics originated just after CE. Spark enlightened them and they turned on the Prophets. Now Heretics are a class in the Reach game ? Just for using human weapons ? There has to be more to this or something missing. It was a pretty small time span between the destruction of the original Halo and the (Arbiter inducing) trial. I guess rebellious Heretics have always existed among the Sangheili... (?)

I do not know for sure, but I get the feeling that though the Heretic's were introduced in 2, they had not been buying what the Prophet's were selling for a reasonably long time. In H2 the Arbiter is tasked with wiping out the leader of a rebellion, and it takes a while for those to gain enough steam to be a threat to an established hierarchy, so they were around during Reach, just not as informed about the real story of the rings by Spark at that point.

Live in the moment before it's too late

Just like human nature, rebellion is always present.
