I agree, probably Nagato was lied to - or else he probably wouldn't have sacrificed himself to revive Madara.

But even if he could survive the Rinne Tensei thanks to his huge amount of chakra, it wouldn't change the answer to the question that started this whole discussion... "Why didn't Sasuke resurrect Neji?"

Because he does not have the huge amount of chakra Nagato had, so using the Rinne Tensei would kill him.
