My question is in the context of RAW and I am asking is my interpretation of the following rule correct from a RAW standpoint. I obviously would not play it this way due to the topic at hand.

Here is the Rule

"Resilient: Each time this model loses a wound, roll a dice; on a 5+ it does not lose a wound."

Now am I being silly in thinking that it said DICE not D6, so any dice counts cough d100 cough RAW.

I know this would be ridiculous and be auto That Guy, however with the whole way Custom Character Rules are written you should expect That Guy behaviour.

My question was there/is their any rule I missed that when they refer to a non specific dice they mean D6 ergo RAI? Or does any dice count RAW?

The Character creation rules are for Open Play only, thus the rules are made up and the points don't matter.

Also,

BRB Page 176 "Tools of War" sidebar wrote:"Warhammer 40,000 uses six-sided dice, sometimes abbreviated to D6."

so you're out of luck there.
Of course the rules don't define that the dice need to be numbered one through six, but it's part of the English Language Parsing needed to play the game at all.

If even BaconCatBug is not on your side, you're stretching!

However this is a purely technical question the open rules don't matter because I am currently modifying the experience gaining rules and the custom characters for a campaign of Vigilus. That will only effect specific characters.

The BRB post you posted say is that D6 is the abbreviated for a six sided dice not that DICE means D6 ergo RAW! still sound...Dice = any dice...

It literally says "Warhammer 40,000 uses six-sided dice." If you use ANY dice other than a six-sided dice, you're breaking the rules.

Even outside the rules, would literally ANYONE let this happen?

Seriously. Find me a single opponent who'd let you roll a d100 or a d20 or something instead of a d6.
