I think Jack takes responsibility seriously, the devil-may-care attitude is something of an act (he was a conman after all). He's been carrying guilt over what happened to Gray for so long, he honestly believes it was his fault. It's quite possible that his mother blamed him and so Jack has never thought to question whether it really was his fault.
