The player should expect they might face consequences for their deception, Â however.
This is key - though it's worth noting that those consequences may result in bodily harm, imprisonment, exile or death depending on the severity of the false claims made. I could easily see the Gridanians seeing a false Padjal as a grave insult, not to mention the Elementals would be liable to just smite whoever was falsely claiming to be one.
As another rough example, lying about being a Temple Knight in Ishgard would result in Trial by Combat - but then if your character endures and survives then one has to wonder if it's even a consequence at all if they emerge largely unscathed.
It's about weighing up the pros and cons that come with such things in my opinion. Though I'm very big on the idea that IC actions have IC consequences.
