What he was very willing to believe in isn't true, is it? Neal is lying on a random beach in FTL, unconscious, yet still breathing, and expected to be taken care of in good hands. What Snowing told him would turn out to be a lie if he found out that his son is still out there alive.

No, it isn't true, but it could've been if Aurora, Mulan and Philip didn't find him. And presenting the facts to someone and offering what is seemingly the only logical consequence to that does not constitute a lie. It was Gold's choice to accept that Neal was dead after what he was told what happened to him, he could've have rejected that and tried to find his son again.

He would've been a dead man already by the swing with the tip of the jagged rock sticking out of his back. Don't overlook Gold's murderous thought.  |
You missed the point. It was the Charmings' arrival at the nick of time that prevented Gold from killing Henry, and only by learning that he'd just payed the ultimate price for power with the news of Neal's death did he lose the will to go through with his grandson's murder.
