Maybe the covenant know that the halos will kill all life, but those who are worthy will ascend to salvation? They know they will die but are comforted by the fact that they will be saved in the afterlife? But then the arbiter would not be so surprised when he learns what the halos really do. Darn. Still can't find an explanation...

Maybe the covenant believe halo is a weapon that will kill all those who are unworthy (humans), and spare all those who are worthy (covenant)?

Maybe there's a plot hole? Maybe Cortana is just interpretting some information incorrectly or differently? Maybe she has accessed information only the prophets have access to, making the prophets the only ones who know the truth? I guess we will just have to wait ALL THE WAY UNTIL 2007 to find out the truth.
