Religious pictures one disregarded as frauds (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

pros

cons
I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'frauds' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'religious pictures one disregarded as' is the wordplay.
'religious pictures' becomes 'pro' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'disregarded' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'as' with 'a' taken out is 's'.
'pro'+'s'='PROS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pros that I've seen before include "Positive arguments" , "Opposites of cons" , "Persons with knowledge and skill" , "Arguments in favour" , "Sportsmen who are paid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
