The Spirit of wisdom and revelation is common to every church member who believes the Word; Romans 8
That Spirit of wisdom and revelation — the force by which people are led into knowledge of God’s Word and form certain faith about it — is common to every member of the church. No believer, no church member, is wholly without him.
"As many as are sons of God are led by the Spirit of God. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his," the Apostle testifies (Romans 8). And since we already proved that no one can believe God’s Word and receive it as divine without the Holy Spirit’s light, it follows that every believer who trusts that Word has been illuminated by the Holy Spirit.
Latin
XI. Porro Spiritus ille sapientiae et revelationis, cujus vi et efficacia homines in verbi Dei notitiam ducuntur, et certam de eo fidem concipiunt, omnibus et singulis in Ecclesia communis est, nec est ullus fidelis et Ecclesiae membrum, qui sit ejus omnino expers. Nam quotquot filii Dei sunt Spiritu Dei aguntur. Quod si quis Spiritum Christi non habet, ille non est ejus, ut testatur Apostolus Roman. 8. Atque etiam, cum ante probatum sit neminem posse verbo Dei credere, et illud tanquam divinum recipere, qui non sit a Spiritu sancto illuminatus; inde manifestum est fidelem quemcunque, qui verbo Dei credit, a Spiritu sancto illuminatum esse.
