They impersonated them by making it look like the Resistance took Diana (which it did not despite two members being affiliated). I don't know about the details of Renard's affiliation with them (he mentioned it simply as an alliance, so I don't know if the Resistance sees him as a separate party), but Kelly is not in the Resistance, she's completely on her own (and even if they both were full members, they're still carrying out an unauthorized operation, and prevented the Resistance from getting the child, and the fact that just because they happen to be members, which they really are not, doesn't give their plan official Resistance authorization) The Resistance would want given the fact the child has Royal Blood (which is powerful in and of itself), and their spies in the Royals would let them know how powerful the infant is. The Resistance is also unlikely to want their enemy thinking they have their prized possession falsely, as that would needlessly pit them against an even more determined enemy, and it would only help to divert the Royal's fury onto Team Grimm (which would give the Resistance more wiggling room).
