But we had seen Eren's development when he finally got his ideals crushed, when he at some point wasn't able to say "humans who fight against titans are good" (so he at least was not naive enough to believe that all humans are good or something like that) and "titans are evil". That was because for one he himself became a titan, that which he hated most and at the same time one of the people he always considered "good" was infact someone who planned from the beginning to exterminate humanity. But when it came to Reiner and Bert he had no hesitation anymore. I never got to see good enough translations yet, where I could check if he actually really believed that they are the shifters after they revealed themselves, or if he was undecided yet, or actually really believed what he said about "you have had a hard day Reiner, calm down". But when they transformed he viewed them like enemies. Also RBA never tried to explain themselves, which means that they either believe that it will not be believed by their former comrades, or that their actions are infact completely disregarding any of the lives of the walled cities. It's not like anyone who lives in the walls would accept "you wall people all have to die so some other humans in a far away land can live", even if the people in that "other place" were 100 times the amount of the people in the walls.
