I don't get what Kit means at all about "That's my point".

Because she thinks Liz will shoot her in the back at the first opportunity.

I don't understand the dialogue that takes place from pages 14 to 15. Even translating out the bad grammar, it boils down to:

Kit: "There's not very many people down there that we need to take care of. What's the catch?"
Liz: "Your bullets don't cost me anything."
Kit: "I don't want to go down there while you stay up here."

How are bullets not costing anything a catch, and what does that have to do with Kit going in by herself?

...You've just explained it yourself.

If the catch is that someone else's bullets don't cost anything, that means you aren't going to be using yours. In other words, the catch was that Kit is on her own.

Well then why didn't she just say "The catch is, you're on your own."?

The statement "Your bullets don't cost me nothin'" doesn't imply that she's going to use NONE of her own bullets. And in fact, she WILL be using her own bullets whether she stays behind and plays sniper, or goes along with Kit.

Actually it does. Or rather as few as possible.

The only person she's agreed to shoot is the elf, and the context is that she only did that so Kit could get closer and won't be doing much/any more shooting than absolutely necessary.

Not everyone has the ability to say the "perfect thing" every time

Besides, I think what Liz said was pretty fitting to the situation and what she would say there. It's a good enough excuse.

Liz may or may not be telling Kit everything. However, it IS better for Liz cost-wise to have Kit do most of the shooting. So that explanation makes sense. Bullets are expensive, after all (even though Liz has a whole bandolier full of them -- I guess she's a cheapskate).

And Kit is worried Liz will shoot her in the back, that's why she's reluctant to put herself between Liz and Burke's gang. Kit's had some recent bad experience with being shot in the back so she's a little paranoid about it.
