How much do gods know about their worshippers? Are the requirements to become an initiate (and then a priest or rune lord) enforced by the god itself, or just by the cult heirarchy?

For example, suppose we have a Thanatari cultist who doesn't (for various reasons) much like Orlanth. Would it be possible for him to become an initiate of Orlanth? And later a Wind Lord, so that he could (eg) go on various Orlanthi Heroquests and deliberately fail them badly?

This sort of thing is presumably fine for Illuminates, but what about the non-Illuminated? Must a prospective initiate fool the god, or simply the priest?
