Cleric Dedication feat questions

Some questions about cleric dedication feat that are not obvious from the rules.

1) Does the phrase "Choose a deity as you would if you were a cleric." mean that you gain the diety weapon, signature skill and spell access?

2) Does the phrase "You can use wands, scrolls, and staves, but only for spells of a spell level that you can cast" mean that you actually can't use those untill you get Bsic Spellcasting feat? Can you use only wands and the other with cantrips inside?
Or does the phrese "A cantrip is always automatically heightened to the highest level of spell you can cast in the class. This makes a cantrip a 1st-level spell if you can cast 1st-level spells, a 2nd-level spell if you can cast 2nd-level spells, and so on." (p. 193, Cantrips entry) allow you use wands and the other with even heigher level spells (like 3 spell level at 5 character level).


1) No. You just pick a deity and have to meet the alignment restrictions.

2) Yes. Note that staves do have cantrips, so there is a possibility of using some of them.

Then what is "as you would if you were a cleric" there for?

What part of question does this yes refer to? :- )

A cantrip is a first level spell (at second character level), so formally you fulfill the requirement. Note that it does not speak about spell slots or spell list, just an ability to cast spells of certain level.
