The church hire her themselves, so they can't just get rid of her without some kind of proof.
So they're using a kind of prolonged witch's test: you make a person drown, if they survived they had to have devil's help, if they didn't... well they died pure. God will welcome them. Even if it's dangerous routes instead of water, the church are telling Nora "please, die".
She doesn't deserve this, but the only thing she can currently do is take that one big risk and release herself from consecutive suicidal missions. Let's just hope all goes well.
