The problem I see with this is that by default he already gets everyone's soul. You have to beg god not to send you to hell, during your lifetime, or you go to hell.Entertainment and the suspension of disbelief. When I googled suspension of disbelief I was pleasantly surprised to find that it appears to be an atheist concept.
It's not like a contract keeps you from being saved, either. Supposedly Jesus can still save you, even after you make a contract in these stories, unless I'm wrong. So what's the point of these stories about contracts in exchange for something the devil already gets by default?

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
