[halo] If the covenant viewed spartans as demons, how did they see the more conventional elite units like the ODST units?

Originally they thought humans were insects with an exoskeleton that only covered part of their bodies. Later they recognized them as wearing armor and considered them worthy warriors. The sangheli even petitioned to have humanity offered a place within the covenant when they realized how tenacious and industrious humans were. Their religion considered humans as less than filth for unknown political reasons but many in the covenant military considered them honorable combatants in secret. Only Spartans were called demons because of how many they had killed on the covenant side and no spartan had been confirmed killed by the covenant.
