Mera's ability focused on people losing faith in what they believed in, not just Love, but the loss of faith for loved ones seemed to be the most common way her commandment affected people.

I would not say it stands to reason he was a commandment, because we do not know if they were formed before or after he left the demon clan. I would also assume since we have 10 commandments currently in the main plot that either Zeldris is going to share the same power as Meliodas (ie: Full counter), Meliodas's power was revoked by the demon king thus making him a normal demon without a commandment or lastly that he never was one to begin with. It's not quite clear whether or not he was a commandment, but, judging by his power level alone you could argue that he might have been one once. The topic is still fairly cloudy and i would hate to jump to conclusions about, but, one thing that interests me about your idea are the examples you used where Meliodas killed people based on "Mercy".

If you recall correctly, he also tried to kill Hendrickson to protect the people he cared about, he beat the hell out of Ruin, who i'm assuming died due to this incident and quite a fair few others were hurt as well. I could argue that "MErcy" might not be the correct term to use here, but the commandment theory is still plausible.

Here is my one and only question: What is the backlash of his ability, if he has one because i have seen people show no mercy in front of Meliodas before... Just a thought, but, if he was a commandment i would bank on him having had is status revoked by the demon king when he betrayed the clan.
