There's a difference between knowing the meaning of a foreign word and knowing the usage of a foreign word. (For example, you can probably figure out that "tabernac" is French for "tabernacle" - but do you know why you shouldn't say the word outside of a church if you're in Québec?) I see a similar distinction between an angel saying a demon's name and an angel speaking Demonic.
