I dunno, thinking about it in terms of “spiritual system” applying in general, and “spiritual” applying to a specific case does not seem like a conflation, in the same way that “set” and “element of set” are distinct.
Not all things referred to in a spiritual system need be spiritual. For example, a spiritual system could say that drinking is not spiritual—which is what Islam explicitly says. Indeed, associating the tag “spiritual” or “not spiritual” to different activities is one of the main goals of religions.
