Loyalty is relative to whom one is loyal to, and that is what we see in the prophets. Hosea speaks to those who called on God thinking he would save because the Temple sacrifices were going on, but their deeper loyalty was to pleasure, power, and that that goes with that.

But he despised others and missed love and mercy, the heart of God. The tax collector knew God enough that he could call for mercy and not justify himself. He was the humble one. We have to apply this to ourselves, for it is in application that we are saved, not in knowing about these truths.
