Carol: 
First, Barty in the Pensieve scene is a nineteen-year-old boy being 
guarded by Dementors, fiends that he knows can suck his soul away (a 
premonition?). He's terrified and hysterical. Second, like most DEs, 
he's probably a former Slytherin, and Slytherins, we're told, will 
use any means to achieve their ends. Barty's "end," or objective, in 
this instance is to be free, to avoid Azkaban and the Dementors at 
any cost. So he combines his very real terror with a lie, a 
desperate attempt to get his father to believe him. 

Bookworm:
This is exactly what makes me question him being the "most 
faithful".  Lying to save his own skin (soul?) is understandable but 
doesn't show much fidelity to his master.  IMO, Bella is the one who 
should get that description.
