[ He doesn't have to convince Sam to get on the 'most angels are complete assholes.' He's been on board ever since Uriel came down to correct any misconceptions about angels being the good guys. Of course it came along with Cas, who proved that they could be good, though a lot of what he has to go on there has come from this place. Back home Castiel has been - well, reluctant to do anything to hurt them or manipulate them, but he's been going along with it. It was kind of a shock to learn just how integral he becomes to them. To their family, as weird and broken as it may be.
Dean gets it too. He's come a long way from the stance of believing that anyone who isn't human can't be trusted, a lot longer in that stretch of time he's lived beyond Sam at this point. It's an easier point to get him to accept Jack, at least.
He doesn't have to consider Jack family like Sam does. It would be nice, and hopefully he'll come around to it, but what he needs right now is less of a jump. ]
Because he's not his father, Dean. He's just a kid. A kid with more power than he knows what to do with, who was practically orphaned the moment he was born, and he deserves the chance to live without being taken away to be anybody's pawn. He doesn't have anywhere else to go.
[ It's not hard to see how Sam identifies so strongly with the kid. ]
Look, you don't have to like it. I'm just asking you to give him a chance.
[ And, well, Jack's not going anywhere. He's not going to rub that in Dean's face, but that's not even going to be a discussion. ]
