thanks for your help.

Starting priest characters—called Initiates—do not receive
the same free bonuses that wizards do. Not all priests
are capable of invoking blessings, and doing so is not the
essence of what priesthood is about, therefore Initiates do
not acquire Piety or Invocation for free during character
creation. However, a newly created Initiate character who
begins the game with Piety acquired or trained will also
add the Curry Favour card to his action deck. An Initiate
who begins the game with Invocation acquired or trained
adds Minor Blessing, Minor Ward, and Blessing of
Health to his action deck. Otherwise, the character must
invest advances to acquire these skills and actions later on

Piety and Invocation are advanced Skills. So you need to pay for each skill two advances at Character creation?

No, I think that we don't have to mix exp with character creation points.

For example, if you spend 3 character creation points in skills, you get 4 advances on skills + 2 specializations on trained skills. With the 4 advances you can train and acquire skills 1 to 1 whatever they are basic or advanced.

See for example pg. 42 of the book Tome of Mysteries

"Wizards should acquire Education right away so they can treat it as
a basic skill, but may also wish to invest an additional advance into
this versatile skill to gain an expertise die on Education checks."

Ah, ok that makes sense a lot. So I will see how I will build my Valaya Priestess. Getting advanced Skills form the begining is so a lot cheaper.

Thanks.
