Facebook contacts sync question

How come if I sync my facebook contacts to my phone, I can't get to them trough GO SMS Pro like regular contacts? I don't see the point to sync any, much less all of them if I can't access them through third party apps.

If I did figure this out, is there any way without rooting to have two ENTIRELY SEPARATE contact lists (NOT GROUPS) so I wouldn't have to have so many doubles? Also, if I were to depend on someone's phone number to be accessible through facebook contacts synced to my phone (because I didn't manually add them to contacts) and they were to delete their number off facebook, how could I keep it?

Maybe this sounds boringly simple to many of you, but this kind of stuff has never made sense to me.

I usually just manually save everything, and always sync to google when I add anything so I never worry about losing anything.

I just want the best of both worlds (no hannah montana needed), is that too much to ask?
