Yes, because we've seen that Sans transcends the reset timelines of Undertale and analyzes them from an outsider's perspective: "our reports showed a massive anomaly in the timespace continuum."

2: But Sans does have a SOUL Mode. Blue. Which is Papyrus' SOUL mode as well. Sans is the only boss with no unique SOUL Mode.

3: Papyrus says that he is SUPRISED that Sans isn't being lazy. Sans decided to step up his game. This certainly doesen't mean he's not usually lazy, on the contrary, it proves that he is. He's only workinng hard because he wants his brother to succeed. That's the only thing he's ever wanted. Sans has always worked harder than Papyrus has known. What about the True Pacifist Ending, where Papyrus runs off and Sans follows him to keep him out of trouble?

4: Papyrus and Sans are not the same person. Besides, Pap is naiive, and doesen't even realize that you've been killing people. He dosen't regognize the dust as a sign that you're a murderer, just like a human child might not regognize blood. See my above discussion with GetYourFix to understand why I compared Sans to Papyrus. As for Papyrus' alleged naivete, why does he immediately conclude that Frisk is heading "down a dangerous path?" 1:  He is talking about his "sources." He himself isn't outside the timelines. It could easily be a machine that he is using to track the timeline, or it could even be Gaster. However, Sans refers to the "Other sanses," so he obviously isn't the same guy in all the timelines. Besides, if he was, he'd be dead permanently after you kill him in Genocide.

2: No, Papyrus, ASGORE, TORIEL, ASRIEL, Flowey, So Sorry, Glyde, and Greater Dog all lack their own unique SOUL Modes as well.

3: Papyrus is the only thing that Sans cares about. Just because he's following him to keep him from getting killed in a world that is more dangerous than anything that he's ever seen before dosen't make him lazy, it makes him not an idiot.

4: Papyrus says you're going down the wrong path because you're rude, unkind, and don't like spaghetti. He clearly dosen't know that you're killing people, because in the neutral ending where he is the only one spared, he beleives that everyone has gone on vacation.
