Subject: How does Battleforged work?

Hello!
I'm coming back to the hobby after about 10 years away give or take, and I'm having some trouble understanding battleforged armies, especially in light of this FAQ that lists certain keywords that don't count towards battleforged.
If I have an army that consists of:
1 Detachment of Pure Space Marines
and
1 Detachment of Pure Custodes
Does this count as battleforged for the purposes of the Custodes Sworn Guardians rule?

Yes, that's fine. However, you won't benefit from the Doctrines in the new SM Codex.

So if I did that, the Custodes detachment would get their Sworn Guardians special rules, allowing them to take objectives as troops, but the Space Marine detachment wouldn't benefit from whatever chapter tactic I chose?

Every pure detachment gets access to their their own chapter tactic, or whatever it's called. But SM have additional rules. If the entire army is from the SM codex and has the angels of death rule they get doctrines.

the SM will get there chapter tactic, just not the new battle doctrines ability.

As an aside, as "infinite" rolls is actually impossible even if the FAQ "allows" it, then it will always be a non-zero chance to pass them all. Eventually the two players will die. If they pass the game on to their decendents, they too will eventually die. And, at the end of it all, the universe will experience heat death and it, too, will die. In the instance of "infinite" hits, we're talking more of functional infinity, rather than literal.
RAW you can't pass the game onto descendants, permissive ruleset. Unless we get an FAQ from GW.

As long as all units belong to a detachment and share a faction keyword, you're battleforged.
