As for the werewolf bite, that's entirely based on the 1st party lycanthropy template which has the exact same effect with the exact same wording. It's also not the only option for contracting the werewolf template, alternative rules are included in the same section.
Slight misunderstanding. The section is labeled "Origin of the Wolf" but has remedies to it included and intermixed.
You mention surviving a silver bullet to the heart as potential cure if you survive (how?), contrast that to damning yourself in the process of stealing blessed silver (What´s that? And how are you damned?)
I was under the impression that said damnation is keyed to lycanthropy.
