I know plenty of highly successful and highly motivated people in my line of work (sadly I can't claim to be one of them). One thing that struck me that is common among them is they really don't waste time thinking about stuff like this. The main exception is people with inheritances, but even many of them don't care about such things either.

People who waste their energy and time worrying or judging others, which is 99% of people, end up being...the 99%.
I mean this is kinda an extreme case no? How would you react when the most horrible and vile person you know had a complete 180 because they had a revelation from her goddess? Same goddess you, in this scenario, would also heavily worship.

In real life scenario it would like if the scum employee that steals food from the breakroom fridge, spreads malicious rumours and low key abuses and harasses her coworkers without a care for the company image got a highly coveted promotion out of the blue and suddenly became a model employee.

That'd be more confusing than anything, since you're basically locked in to whatever you are from age 3.

Maybe it's an extreme case, but she's also supposed to be a Saint.

You gave a scenario about some worker stealing from the breakroom fridge, for example. When we should be talking about the thought process and habits of someone equivalent to a royal personage.

As I said, successful or otherwise highly placed individuals don't care, or at least don't act on those thoughts. To use another royal personage as an example, not being able to 'not care' is essentially why Prince Harry is no longer 'HRH'. He couldn't jive with what was expected of him and saw things in terms of 'fairness'. That attitude isn't compatible with his role as a royal. It doesn't matter what extreme things happened behind the scenes, as some of the rumored stories seem to imply.

It's interesting that Celestria actually has healing powers, but she can't believe that Jelly is capable of healing people. This suggests that not only is a saint's power divine in nature, but also that it can only be wielded by someone judged worthy, similar to how paladins work in D&D, which raises the question of how most people hadn't realized Jelly's true nature.

Fun fact: Vermont's state fruit is the apple, and its state pie is apple pie. Furthermore, Vermont passed a bill requiring that one must make a "good faith effort" to serve apple pie with either a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, a glass of cold milk, or at least half an ounce of cheddar cheese.
Why Cheddar cheese?

Why Cheddar cheese?
Dairy products have historically made up the majority of Vermont's agricultural exports, with cheese being the biggest (although Vermont also became famous for its ice cream in the second half of the 20th century). Cheddar is the second most popular type of cheese in America, and Vermont is particularly proud of their version of it, sharp white cheddar, which has a unique flavor and stands out from more traditional cheddars that are milder and colored orange from the addition of annatto. Cheddar is an important part of Vermont's economy and cultural heritage. The sharpness of Vermont's cheddar also makes it a good contrast to the sweetness of apple pie, essentially resetting your taste buds, similar to how a sip of red wine in between bites of steak helps you savor it without your tongue getting too accustomed to one flavor.
