For the purposes of this character, I wish specifically to go into Sorcerer as my main class. Any prestige class options must advance Sorcerer spell casting.
I am trying to build an Aasimar Empyreal Sorcerer based on the following concept:
She knows she is Aasimar, and gains Wings feat as soon as possible.
She was raised in a NG convent with low-level Clerics. She embraces the faith, and enrolls herself as an acolyte. She's able to perform mundane rituals, but has a hard time with spell casting. As a Sorcerer, she shares a few spells with the Cleric list, but can't cast Cure or specific other spells.
As it's made evident that she cannot perform adequately as a spell casting Cleric, her acolyte status cannot be made into a higher status. She leaves the church, but maintains her faith. For clarity, it's not because she can't cast requisite spells, but because because of her attitude about not being able to cast specific spells.
She begins advertising herself as an adventurer, hoping to get picked up by a party with a Cleric or someone else who can do what she desires, using them as a tutor to focus her casting into what she wishes.
Now, back in 3.5, there was the Rainbow Servant in Complete Divine that granted access to the Cleric spell list at level 10. I'm looking for something that can help me do something similar in Pathfinder.
The reason I say Sorcerer, is because generally they don't have access to certain divine-only spells. Because she is an Aasimar, it stands to reason that her blood would grant her access to some spells normally not for Sorcerers. What she would be after is the ability to learn to cast Cure, and a few other, spells at a much later level to validate her status to the church, without entering into a divine casting class.
I understand that mechanically any divine caster would work just fine with this, but my heart is set on Sorcerer as a more mechanical block, explaining why she can suddenly (later in levels) cast Cure after breaking down a mental block. Having it available and not casting it is not the same as not having it available to begin with.
Is there a way to add Cleric spell access to an arcane class in Pathfinder, besides research (which would fit but is subject to severe GM oversight) and taking levels of Cleric/Oracle?
You can go the white mage archetype for Arcanist route:

You can even build the arcanist to get the sorcerer bloodline by taking the Bloodline Development arcane exploit as well to complement the archetype for the concept above.
The other option I can think of is the witch class as well. They have healing spells and hexes built into the spell list and archetypes as well.

There is also the Magaambyan Arcanist prc. It doesn't grant you access to cleric spells, but you can add Druid spells to your list.

So far this looks really promising. While not exactly Cleric spells, Druid does share a bunch of them.
I'm looking for an option that "rewards" this character for continuing to try to learn. Again, having the ability but not using it for RP reasons isn't the same as just not having it a

But that Prestige Class requires Spell Mastery that a sorcerer alone can't take as you have to be a wizard.
