Let's start with the simplest possible conditional processing for DocBook.

A conditional processing attribute such as your Entity_x must have 
*several* *mutually* *exclusive* *values*. Here, I chose Yes and No. 
(Let's forget about conditional processing attribute Entity_y for this 
simple case.)

Profile "Case1" is when Entity_x=Yes
Profile "Case2" is when Entity_x=No

Attached "Test.profiles" (NOT your 'TESTING PROFILES.profiles')

Note that the unselected profile is given a pink hatched background 
pattern, which means "this will be excluded from the deliverables". See 
attached screenshot.

What I've to use condition processing attribute Entity_x:

1)
a) Copied attached modified "docbook.rng" to docbook51/rng/V5.1/
b) Copied your modified "attributes.list" to profiling/docbook/ to teach 
our easy profiling addon about attributes Entity_x and Entity_y (not 
used here).

2) IMPORTANT: Opened attached Test.profiles and forced a "File|Save As" 
to disk. This creates underlying conditional processing utility files 
"Test_files/Case1.xslt" and "Case2.xslt".

2) Opened attached "Test.xml" (NOT your test file):

   <para Entity_x="No">AATESTING2 (<literal>Entity_x=No</literal>).</para>
</section>
---

3) IMPORTANT: Used "Preferences|Customize Configuration|Customize 
Document Conversion Stylesheets" to select the DocBook profiling XSL 
stylesheets. See attached screenshot "style_unselected_profile.png".

4) Used "DocBook|Condition Processing" to select "Test.profiles" and 
profile "Case1". See attached screenshot "select_profile_case1.png".

5) The paragraph having Entity_x=No is immediately given a pink hatched 
background to indicate that this paragraph will be filtered out from the 
generated PDF file. See attached screenshot "profile_case1_selected.png".

6) Used "Docbook|Convert Document|Convert to PDF" to generate attached 
"Case1.pdf". Note that the paragraph having Entity_x=No is not found in 
this PDF.

As expected, if now I select profile "Case2", I get this other 
screenshot "profile_case2_selected.png" and "Case2.pdf".
