Whoops, Patrick it is. I am very stupid about character names.
Smug may be the wrong word; she's very "I am right and you are wrong and why can't you just SEE that?" -- as you say, very narrow views about who's saved.
I think that the author approves of Patrick's traditional Catholicism more than Ann's traditional Anglicanism. For instance, she takes without question that Patrick believes a post-Vatican-II Mass invalid. I think this is the narrator peeking through.
