That Held sect thing matches the report's note that there's one religious sect in particular accusing Venomania of being the culprit--so it's likely the Held sect is afforded a little protection from demonic magic (maybe just the memory-wiping ritual.) Could be a "blessing" thing like how Michaela was able to give blessings to protect Clarith and Josephine from Gift.
