A person with initiate-level committment cannot learn the feats of an affinity. If the subcult teaches an affinity, he'll learn the affinity *only*. If the subcult teaches stand-alone feats, he can learn the stand-alone feats. This isn't considered the "feats of an affinity" because they are sepoerate from any affinity.
None of the subcults in TR teach stand-alone feats as I remember (but I'm not going to check every listing!). Mostly it will be Hero cults that teach stand-alone feats (we should have some Hero Cults in ST).
