You have to recall though that most of the "We can make you immortal" speech came from a known indoctrination attempt, so probably not the most honest confession we're getting. As for the 'salvation through destruction', well, I'm not too keen to take anything the Reapers say at face value. There is this thing called propaganda, you know. If you can make the people you're trying to exterminate think you're not really trying to exterminate them, they won't fight back as much. It's been shown time and time again in human history. There's a reason that the Nazis told people getting off the trains that they were just going to take them to the showers.
