Quite right, I was referring to Wolf Guard. They can be split off and assigned to Wolf Scouts.

Is it really possible for an IC without infiltrate to infiltrate with a unit that has infiltrate?

I don't think so based on the discussion that we have been having. The IC simply could not be deployed in coherency with the unit that has infiltrate and, therefore, could not join the unit.

No, because the rules for Infiltrate specifically state that an IC needs Infiltrate to deploy with Infiltrators.

Ohh...

I know it was FAQd in 5th which is why Im confused why people are questioning it again

That would be because we are no longer playing 5th edition, and the ruling that was made in 5th edition was not carried across to 6th. Which means it ultimately comes down to personal opinion as to whether they just forgot all about this issue when writing the 6th edition rules despite having previously FAQd it, or if it was a deliberate change for 6th.

... and my real thought is are people seriously going to be giant Douche Nozzles about it or just go with how the rule was meant to be used?

Given the ambiguiity I just mentioned, it's not at all unreasonable for someone to refuse to allow this. Again, we really have no way to know for sure just what GW intended for 6th edition.

I mean, why else would it be stated the way it is AND with a special character (shrike) that's whole reason for being is to infiltrate with a unit that doesnt have it?

Shrike's rules were written for a previous edition. And as others have pointed out, the rule as written covers mixed units like Wolf Guard with Scouts. It doesn't specifically have to be intended for ICs.

Even though it doesn't matter, could we argue it as RAI?

Argue what as RAI?

You think a non-Infiltrating IC should be able to Infiltrate with a unit?
I'd say no, and stick with the rules. Their lack of Infiltrating experiance would endanger the unit.
