True, I won't argue that. Actually, I only brought Raphael's true form up once, and only to let you know how vessels really do limit them.

And, actually no he couldn't, seeing as Lucifer taught him everything he knows about it. Their powers work on each other. Also, it's not the Salutes that reveal that information, it's mostly the show itself.
