Vidal Jarbeaux and "traits" / "Lilith's Blessing"
this is a "Vidal Jarbeaux" question, so maybe it has been answered before ...
Vidal Jarbeaux
Camarilla: Vidal can meet the clan, sect, or non-infernal vampire trait (e.g., anarch) requirement to play any card. He can meet a given requirement only once each game. +1 bleed.
Since I could find nothing on "traits" in the Rulings Sections, I will take the following definition for them.
Traits are basically the bold terms found at the top of card text to give it some kind of label. Some traits have rulebook-defined meaning or effect. Others do not. Clan and uniqueness are also traits.
Now my question: If "X" is a trait, is "non-X" also a trait?
For example: Can Vidal benefit twice from "Lilith's Blessing"? First time being non-Bahari, second time emulating non-Bahari (being actually Bahari)?
Lilith's Blessing
Master.
Put this card in play. As a master phase action, you may tap this card to search your library for a master: Discipline card and choose a ready non-Bahari vampire you control who has no blood. That vampire gains the Discipline card (if any) and 3 blood and becomes Bahari.
Thanks in advance!

Lilith's Blessing has no requirement when played, so Vidal's text doesn't interact with Lilith's Blessing - Vidal can only fake a trait to have a card played, and not when it would be used.For example: Can Vidal benefit twice from "Lilith's Blessing"? First time being non-Bahari, second time emulating non-Bahari (being actually Bahari)?
Lilith's Blessing

So, short answer: Vidal can get 3 blood from Lilith's Blessing only once per Vidal.
