Spellcaster Dedication Does / Doesn't Grant Alt Material Casting?

Update 1.3 has all the class archetypes. The entry dedication feats all include a sentence along the lines of "You cast spells like a Sorcerer". They then go into further detail about what that entails, but none of them seem to specify that MCing into Sorcerer and "casting spells like a Sorcerer" lets you use your blood or holy symbol or instrument or mistletoe as a proxy for your Material Casting. Is that nevertheless implied?

Since the Material Casting action lists that Sorcerers can replace this with a Somatic component, they don't need to say it in the Dedication feat, but they probably should (much like they mention it in the Sorcerer class).

Last paragraph of the Material Casting action on page 196 of the rulebook:

Quote:
If you’re a sorcerer Casting a Spell from the spell list that matches your bloodline, you can draw on the magic within your blood to replace any Material Casting actions that require material components with Somatic Casting actions. You can’t replace a Material Casting action that requires a spell focus.
