And of course she could use Missed! as Missed!, but can she use Bang! as Mssed! (I would assume so).

<p>In the Bang! expansion pack, there is a card known as "The Sermon" which reads as follows:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>The Sermon:</strong> BANG! cards cannot be used in player's turn</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Seems straight-forward enough, until I realized that Calamity Janet can use Bang! cards as Missed! and Missed! cards as Bang!s.  So, my question is: if Calamity Janet is in play, can she use a Missed! card as a Bang!, since it technically isn't the actual Bang! card?</p>

The way my play group deals with this is that she can't play them during her turn because she plays them as a bang which can't be played.
