Yeah, maybe. I trust him though. That has nothing to do with trust from my side. I think that Sam convinced himself (or allowed himself to be convinced) that the end justifies the means. He deliberately stopped questioning his actions although he isn't sure if he is doing the right thing. I truly believe in Sam's goodness, that doesn't mean though that he can't be corrupted, given the right incentive, and the trauma of losing Dean might have just achieved that.
I trust Ruby way more than I trust Castiel. Ruby seems faithful to Sam, Castiel follows his own interests. If Dean starts to question him, I can easily see him sending him back to hell. I neither trust Castiel nor Ruby. Ruby isn't faithful at all to Sam: She admitted that she tried to manipulate him into using his powers because she thinks he is a weapon she can use against Lilith (NRFTW). Ruby has her very own agenda as well. Apart from killing Lilith she stated that she follows the YED's plans (TKAA). She left Sam to what she thought was his sure death when he didn't follow her suggestion to kill Nancy (JIB). So no, I don't think that either of the boys 'advisors' can be trusted.
Sam is doing something he doesn't want Dean to know, why? Because Dean wouldn't understand that you can use something given to you by an eveil been to fight another. To defeat Lilith, he needs to use his powers. Well, we don't know that. Lilith wasn't able to touch Sam, even when he wasn't using his powers. Who is to say that wiping out Lilith depends on Sam's powers alone? Also, all evidence in the show so far shows that there is the very tangible threat that using his powers is a danger to Sam's soul and/or humanity(see Ava, Jake or Webber). The thing is, Sam doesn't know what using his powers might do to him and he only relies on a manipulative demon. Usually Sam is so cautious, but he threw all his own doubts over board and that worries me.
All inferences. You usually hide things from someone if you're sure they are not going to understand you, or if you are trying to protect them. That's how I see it. No, it's not all an assumption. Sure, Sam is afraid that Dean won't understand him, but he also stated himself that he doesn't want to give up what he is doing, which is why he decided to lie to his brother. He knows that Dean will start to question him and he isn't ready to face that yet, because he has no answers. It's not at all about protecting Dean, it's about protecting himself.
He fought so hard to bring his brother back, I can't imagine him wishing him away, even for an instant. I don't think that either! I don't think he wishes Dean away! But we know from several occasions that if Sam thinks Dean or anybody else holds him back from doing what he thinks is the right thing to do, he rather leaves them behind until he sorted his things out. Sam's urge for independence has always been one of his strongest traits, that doesn't mean he doesn't love his family, but sometimes he prefers to follow his own path instead of trying to compromise. :)
