Likely to be true for "most Sartarites." After all, they have other business to attend to, and they leave the precise details of the Other Side up to the experts.

I don't think so, insofar as the godi are concerned. I think that this is
similar to saying that most mechanics only have a tentative grasp of the
difference between electical engines, diesel engines and gasoline powered
engines. They may not be able to fix all them, but at least they would be
able to say, "This is one I know about, this is similar to what Iknow
about, and this one is very different."
a godar, in the same circumstances, would be able to say, "This is a daimon
that is one of mine, this is a daimon that is of a different pantheon, and
that is a spirit form another world." Any of them that has been properly
trained would know that other worlds exist, that the creatures from there
are different in substance.
See, we are hampered in our experience by the presumption that spirit and
god are words along a spectrum of "Otherworld entities."
The experience and knowledge in Glorantha is different.
