I dnd't even SEE that.

He can have 1 devotion. The other is Initiation to a subcult. Right.

Ignore my previous post. =)

Right so far.

It MAY be lost. They may be granted as stand alone IF the Narrator feels its warranted if they are devotees. But if they are from an _initiation_, then no. IF the feats from the initiatied subcult DO fit into an affinity he has as devotee, I'd give him the extra affinities.
