Considering that, per GURPS:Banestorm (EDIT: page 213), the Friedrichites can get Walk on Liquid and (limited) Warp, I would say characterizing their abilities as "ambiguous" or "internal" would be misguided.
Bear in mind that, even if a character sheet says "Patron:God" (and it doesn't even explicitly state this; the book merely notes that this was used as a pricing guideline), the
in character effect is merely "can unreliably cause a wide variety of supernatural effects". In a setting with literal wizards and magical spirits running around, (and again,
per canon, characters who already gain the ability to perform blatant supernatural feats by ritual and belief) I would see no difficulty in a skeptical character (or a GM/player who would rather not deal with unambiguous divine intervention) brushing this off as "strong latent magical potential" or whatever.
