The term "warlock" comes from a root (Old English, wærloga) that literally means "pact-breaker".
So I'd say it's very much in the spirit of the class to eventually betray one's patron.
Right, but they're specifically talking about breaking your pact with (the Christian) god. Like, y'know, the devil did. Warlocks were devils, not protégés of devils.
