..since they're honorable fighters and they're not blind (or as blind at least) as the other species in the Covenant since quite a few of them expressed doubts concerning the Prophet's teachings before the Great Schism.
The saddest part about that is they are the most blind out of all the races since they are the only ones to believe it anyway.
Brutes- weren't in the covenant long enough to be indoctrinated, even then we know that there are brutes that didn't follow that crap anyway.
Grunts- You have to be crazy to think they "honestly believed". They just followed to keep their race alive since they are the lowest caste and to get off their cold homeworld.
Jackals- Were never indoctrinated nor did they ever believe
Lekgolo- Only joined to save their race (like grunts) and use the covenant for travel.
Drones- Debatable since we don't know much about them. Though i will say they were easier to control since the covenant works much like their hives.
When it comes down it it The Elites were the only ones dumb enough to follow such a religion.
Most races to some degree believed it. All races to some degree didn't care for it. The Elites weren't the sole race to believe in it.
For instance, take Tartarus, told directly to his face by 343 what Halo's did, ignored this completely and followed his blind faith for his religion.
I'd imagine were his Uncle in the same spot he would have acted differently.
Take the Deacon for instance, he seemed quite convinced in the Great Journey. Others of his kind were much less religious than him.
Even Thel before he was Arbiter had doubts, but at the same time, some of his kind were heavy believers too.
Even the prophets got suckered in. The only three to ever really know of what it was were Truth, Mercy, and Regret.
