The scene on the hotel? She does say that, but I'm not sure if that suggests there is a gradient in the power of each eye color rank based on individual talent, or if it's because different eyes have different power attached to them as per classifications, since she wrote Ruby and Jade below Golden in the whiteboard.
But she does mention it's rare for DA to have ME that can take complete control of someone's brain, and Vlov clearly doesn't have golden eyes. It's hard to say since we've never seen a different golden ME user. Rita/Noel's eyes seem to be a special classification.

For the priest, the golden princess was the one and only main heroine.
Everyone else was unworthy of his respect, no matter how strong they were.
