Camarilla using a Sabbat clan power?

I'm probably over complicating this, but can Camarilla vampires use cards marked with the Sabbat sect, and vice versa? For example, a card requiring a Brujah vampire to use. Could a Sabbat Brujah antitribu use this card? Likewise could a Brujah vampire use a card with a Brujah antitribu mark on it? I know titles are restricted to Sect, but there's no mention in the rules that I have seen for other minion cards (other than ones that clearly state "Sabbat vampire only"). Thematically it would make sense that a Brujah antitribu could use a power originally designed for Camarilla Brujah, since they are both Brujah, but I worry it would unbalance the games somewhat. Does anybody have an answer?

No. A card that requires Brujah cannot be used by a Brujah antitribu (since he doesn't meet the requirements). Likewise, a card that requires Brujah antitribu cannot be used by a Brujah.

"Brujah" and "Brujah Antitribu" should be treated as entirely unrelated terms. They are the names of the clans. Think of it like "Dog" and "Dogwood". They contain the same letters but are not the same thing. It does lead to some confusion. I think this is noted in the rulebook, but remember: In the card game, a Brujah who becomes Sabbat is a Sabbat Brujah, NOT a Brujah Antitribu.. a Brujah Antitribu who becomes Camarilla is a Camarilla "Brujah Antitribu".
