While you are technically correct in the lore sense, modern WHM in Eorzea has a very much saint-like nuisance to it. After white magic was misused and caused widespread disaster, it was once buried away as a forbidden power, only to be later revived by the Padjals and passed down in secret as the power used to guard over the forests. So modern WHM do indeed convey the image of protectors, holy, sacred.

I don't know, I think white mages (or rather, Padjal) in their current incarnation can still be quite scary when you think about them - we do kill a lot of stuff in our class/job quests and the protection of the Shroud over anything else has some pretty scary consequences. No one really likes Padjals, or at least that's the impression I got. There's a dark side to the role that is never reflected in our gear and it's a shame. Not a lot of balance for a class who is all about it :/
