No, I'm just saying that if you want to understand an idea (like the Holy Ghost or a triple in baseball or being an individual) you need to participate in a way of life that uses those ideas. I'm not sure how you got from this point (shamelessly lifted from Wittgenstein) to your statement above. I'm not saying people should be Catholics and understand the Holy Ghost; frankly, I could care less myself. But that has nothing to do with my point.
