Cristaldi didn't appear in Gremory territory, didn't talk or fight a bit and didn't retreat? Is Cristaldi not an enemy to DxD at that point? Also when Kiba defeated him he didn't get a powerup aka holy absorb sword? Is that not the format in 3 vol straight?

Strada came right in the territory of the anti terrorist team, that is like an enemy came right into your territory and you did nothing about it, unlike the circumstance with Reynare there is no risk of a second great war, DxD has the right to take down the leaders of the rebellion right there to prevent more exorcists attacking the Alliance, yet they didn't because plot format.

I don't see why it's not the best option to capture him when he approached them, while everyone wanted peace they asked for killing/battle which is not what the Alliance trying to build. It doesn't matter if Strada is one person (again he has a group of exorcists with him along with the other two leaders) or weapon-less (if he dared to appear right in enemy territory he would have prepared himself).
