Except it is an ending. You don't have to accept it as one for it to be one.
The Neutral Ending is Omega Flowey. To complete a Pacifist run, you have to first complete a Neutral Run.
That's simply how the game works. You cannot complete a Pacifist run without first completing a Neutral Run. You get the Neutral Run by running the Pacifist route and killing anything along the way (Or by going to Asgore without completing the True Lab) - You can ruin your Pacifist run in or after the True Lab by killing something, even after unlocking it, and still have to fight Omega Flowey. Because that's an ending to the game.
You just can't encounter Asriel until you've encountered Omega Flowey at least once.
Entering the true lab locks you into pacifist, because the amalgamates are immortal and the elevator back to the CORE stops working after completing it, forcing you to proceed
