Just because they didn't fool and trick Gold doesn't mean Gold would still believe so when he sees Neal come back. Remember, the reason he found himself committed to their cause was to honor his son who'd been despised him.

I don't see Gold holding that against them. He was very willing to believe in Neal's death because magic always comes with a price and that was a very fitting one for bringing magic to a land where it (supposedly) didn't exist.

If he hadn't been told of Neal's death, he would've stayed in SB with Belle, full of happiness, no undoing. His life and fate could've changed.

Henry would've also (likely) been dead, so there'd be no reason for them to leave to Neverland either.
More to the point, do you really think they could've kept this from him? He'd eventually start asking questions about his son - where he is, how is he, what is he doing - and they couldn't lie to him forever.
