You mean during the time Andres was a cultist working for Ishtar, and not the 2nd time where he wasn't working for Ishtar and in the write-up confessed to being scum by insulting Angra Mainyu ? You need to correct your facts a little.

You're being lied to by the cult.
Doubtful, especially if you follow your theory that I am recruited into the cult, and if I was recruited, I would know this information as fact... which eitherway, supports what I am saying, I don't think the cult has any reason to lie about who the night killer is. They want the night killer as dead as us, for different reasons, maybe, but still the same goal.
It makes no sense from a game balance perspective that a cult with massive recruiting capabilities can just catch all the mafia.
The cult started off as one person, the recruiter. That person would have to survive late into the game and some how survive being lynched, being night killed, being roleblocked and dealing with people for example Andres, who became recruited and could tell everyone who the cultists were. The fact they say they only got 50% of the vote now and lconfessed to members of theirs who have died (Andres, Pizza, DIY, etc) and failed recruiting (Renata, Andres(2), Chaotix) and you can see easily how a cult is kept in check, especially as they don't really have any power roles of themselves.

What makes far more sense, if the cult is neutral and their goal was to defeat some other neutrals, is that mafia could just be converted by the cult themselves and look like regular recruits. Doesn't change the cult/neutral conflicts and doesn't change the mafia/town status.
Their goal is to kill the mafia since the gods of heaven and hell hate Ishtar, which means Ishtar has to stay alive in the mortal plane. With the vision of Angra's future, she is attempting to align herself to Angra for her own survival. This is why they are stating they want Angra Mainyu, as she wants to "sleep with him" and align herself with his cause by becoming his consort. Thus they have to find Angra before he dies and thus survive till the end of the game. Difficult task!

Lynch MRD.
Chaotix said he roleblocked MRD and nothing happened. Also MRD said himself he is the voice of the cult. In otherways, either way you look at it, it is pretty much a waste of a lynch. It would make more sense to kill a non-cultist then MRD, which in turn makes it more sense to lynch Chaotix than a non-cultist due to the overall scumming I have posted.
