Actually, it's extremely likely, almost to the point of obvious, that he (and many others) call them Grimm Masks because they look like a Grimm's "Mask".

Really. You don't see anyone say something like "Mask that looks like a Tengu", people only say "Tengu Mask". It's simpler, and the same darn thing.

Now, the rest of what you said is different...

-There's a difference between someone in Remnant wearing a Grimm Mask the same way the WF does, and someone from Earth wearing a swastika. For starters, the Nazis are the principal reason WW2 was so traumatizing for pretty much everyone around the world, while the WF is just a criminal group that wants to play terrorists but before Cinder arrived they were barely able to. And still haven't done anything even on the same line as what the Nazis did.

-The existence of a "Grimm Cult"...I don't find it impossible, given how we got Satanism and other similar religions. However, said cult being that enemy fought by the 4 kingdoms (basically 1 single cult vs the 4 major governments of the world, each with hundreds of Hunters), sounds honestly pretty stupid and gives us a very one-sided fight.

-...What do you mean by "I'm board"?
