Good point!
I was considering the simple "get one feat from another sub-cult" rather than full initiation, but the same applies.
Which brings me to another related point I keep considering - what are the heroquests to gain feats actually like? Obviously you need a myth to work from. But should it be a myth where the deity *uses* the power, or the one where they *learn* the power? There are plenty of the former around, less of the latter. And if it's "and at this point Vanganth picked up a heavy weight and flew with it", then how is the questor, who as yet has no ability to fly with or without weights, meant to do that station of the quest?
