The answers to your question conflict with your Catholic beliefs, because any entity you meet you can rationalize as possibly being Jesus. Being with intentions to make you do something will take various different forms to manipulate your emotions. Overwhelming you with intense emotion and gaining their trust is something they do right away because it results in you doing as they say. As he mentions >>29479 they take the form of various religious icons (such as Jesus), or often times loved family members. In theory, these are beings anyone would be honored to meet and anyone would surely be in a state of absolute astonishment. We live in a physical world where we live off of blind faith. To suddenly be forced into an ethereal realm where you're communicating telepathically with Jesus or your beloved dead mom is intense for most people, and they will be in a state of listening/doing anything they say because the experience is too bizarre to not be true.
Why would a being need to alter your emotions to be believed? You'll notice in many NDEs someone will ask in awe, "are you really Jesus?!" "are you really my mom?!" and they will get an answer similar to, "I can take on any shape that makes you comfortable." Other times, if not asked, the being will continue acting as they are perceived.
Any being trying to convince you to reincarnate is not benevolent. Taking on different forms of religious figures and loved ones is deceit, especially since this is done just to gain our trust and to have us complete what's in THEIR best interests. This is where things start getting into the soul recycling matrix, which goes hand-in-hand with this topic.
The long story short is that you really can't tell an evil being from a benevolent one. They have the ability to very convincingly present either side. However, one rule of thumb is that any entity trying to pressure you into making a certain decision is only doing so because it benefits them. That's why they make it out to seem like it's YOUR idea, not theirs.
If a scammer says "give me your wallet", you're going to say no and know their intentions. If a scammer says, "Ugh I have the worst luck. I forgot my phone at home and I was supposed to meet my mom but I'm running late. Do you mind if I give her a call on your phone super quick?", you're way more likely to hand over your phone which has banking information, pictures of your asshole, your search history, etc.
These entities are scammers for your soul. They can't just appear as themselves and say, "reincarnate on Earth or else". They can't force you to do anything, no matter how scary they appear. That's why it's much better to appear as a loving character, make you go through a "life review", and make you experience in real time your life all over again, from the very start to the very end, focusing on all of the wrongs you've done and how badly you've hurt people. By the end of this, people are very emotional and feel intense guilt. The being then says, "it's ok, you can fix this and make it all better. If you went back to Earth you could do this over again." and then it's your turn to say, "yeah you're right Jesus, I'll go back to earth." That idea was done through total premeditated manipulation.
Are there benevolent beings? Sure. But you can't trust any spirit just because they look a certain way, say nice things, or project a sense of love. It's what they want you to do, and even then you must be careful. Your soul is sovereign and they can't make you do anything you don't want to. If things worked that way, they would simply use force rather than manipulation and have a strange need to have your consent to do these things.
