Yeah, me too. Whatabout learning time, material sourcing, locating literature, PRACTICE??????
(A LITTLE realism never hurt ,surely..?)
The rules also have the example of the guy who pays 24 HP to go from "who's Humakt?" to Devotee. And I hate both, myself.
I rest my case.
As a quick example of how to make friends with a localish sub-cult and get to join/learn feats, take a look at "Sheepless Nights".

Do the quest, help the other clan, being introduced to their sub-cult shrine is the reward.
Yes, but should all those rewards be immediate? In modern terms, passing exams and hard work and devotion in school rewards you with a place in University. However, that doesn't make you an immediate surgeon, rocket scientist, writer, filmmaker etc.....
I'm on one today aren't I?
