Note, the focus of the opening is Ray trying to drown out the voice in front of an ''upright'' crucifix, while the start of Jess' involvement is implied to be when he's inspired to paint the ''inverted'' crucifix. Ray thought Satan was telling him to kill because he was brought up Catholic, and that would be the obvious case in that religion's worldview (Biblical precedent for Godly directives to commit infanticide notwithstanding)
