It's very heavily implied that he works for the Church, despite not being outright stated. Salvation is a cult teaching the antithesis of the Church. He says that a lady friend of the Arisen wants to join the organization he works for. Only one female character in the entire game joins an organization or expresses any interest in doing so, and the is Quina joining the Church. During the quest before Quina leaves for the mainland, Mason will mention he will escort Quina to the Grand Cathedral on the mainland. That's an extremely generous offer if he wasn't going there in the first place.

So, Mason is dedicated to routing a group opposed to the Church, after his quests are complete he is found at a Church location, he makes a comment that someone wants to join an organization he works for when the only character this comment can apply to wants to join the Church, and he offers to escort someone to the headquarters for the Church.

That's a whole lot of coincidences for him to be working for anyone else.
