Like Varyon, I question that there's really any distinction there. It sounds like something you get when your scholars are hopelessly mired in the weird Christian conversion strategy of splitting the supernatural into disallowed 'demons' vs sufficiently-sycretized 'saints' or 'angels' on the side of 'god' and the resultant folklore, but are trying to invent comparative theology.
