In part 3, Montag asks Granger why he trusts him. In response, Granger says,

In other words, Granger trusts Montag because he can tell from Montag's physical appearance that, although he was once a fireman, his departure from the city was genuine. Granger knows, for example, that Montag had become a public enemy. The chase from the Mechanical Hound was real and Montag's life was in serious danger. Otherwise, why would a man allow himself to get into such a bad physical state?
In addition, Granger, perhaps trusts Montag because of his willingness to join the group. Having memorized the Book of Ecclesiastes, Montag demonstrates his commitment to destroying censorship and joining the book lovers as they wait for their moment to share the lost knowledge.
Granger, therefore, considers Montag to be an ally in this time of uncertainty.
