I’m not sure if they’ve ever stated that they’re reason for rejecting her was because they could tell she was hiding something. In fact, since the Convocation was divided after Venats faction began making its arguments, we actually have reason to believe that her method was working until Elidibus returned.

The problem with telling the Convocation anything of substance is that showing, in any way, that she possessed special knowledge of the threat behind the Final Days raises the question of how she came to know what she knew. The questions that would inevitably result would either require her to openly show she’s not willing to discuss details or would mean divulging details of Elpis and Meteion, both of which would be very dangerous topics to openly discuss given Hermes’ role in Zodiarks creation and his role on the Convocation. Then there’s the general issue of the implications of Meteions conclusion, born as it was from her expedition. If the world found out right after suffering the trauma of the Final Days that the being responsible, that they could not kill, was sitting in a place far beyond their current reach, building a “nest” out of the dying desires of every other known species, some more advanced and prosperous than even Amaurot, the situation would (as she again states) “spiral out of control.”

Ehhhhhh.

I would love a clear timeline of events I will admit.

On Venats followers not knowing, I am once again not sure where this is coming from. Based on the recording at Anyder they knew that Zodiark did not solve the Final Days, a fact that only makes sense if one knows of Meteion. Is there evidence showing this is not the case?
