"I'm not asking you to," Jyn assures, voice surprisingly soft. She knows all of this. She was tired and weary and beaten down even before she went to prison. She was tired of the Partisans and the Alliance and the Rebellion itself, giving them all the blame she should have let land squarely on the Empire.
But not wanting Cassian to stop believing in the Rebellion doesn't mean she has to suddenly believe in the counsel that dismissed everything she and Bodhi and Cassian laid at their feet because they were scared.
There's a lot about the Alliance that she still doesn't agree with -- calling Saw an extremist for his actions when they had assassins on their payroll, for one thing -- but she isn't going to have a chance to really work through it because she's dead and can't argue with General Draven and Mon Mothma for the rest of her life.
"But just like you can't stop believing in the Rebellion, I can't suddenly start believing in the Alliance." Which is the difference, really, Jyn still believes in the Rebellion. She simply has monumentally less faith in the institution of the Alliance.
