I don't share that impression of the term god-talker but if so we should drop god-talker as well and just stick with priest and priestess.

That was my impression when I first read the HQ rules - why the different names? It took several readings to realise the fundamental differences between an initiate, a practictioner and an orderly. It would have taken even longer if the same name had been used because the wording would have mislead.
