Master actually read what you just posted. "Inquisitorial Storm Troopers are selected from families with a record of unwavering faith in and prior duty to the Inquisition." This tells us that they don't make just anyone Inquisitorial Storm Troopers. They're carefully selected from family lines that have worked with the INquisition before. "They are trained in a manner similar to standard Imperial Guard Troopers, albeit lacking the rapid insertion and infiltration skills, as they are not expected to undertake such types of missions." This tells us that they aren't even trained completely the same as normal Storm Troopers. Now if you're getting caught up on the fact that it mentions them being used to enhance an Inquisitor's retinue then you should remember that an Inquisitor can take any citezen of the Imperium into their retinue. It's saying that Inquisitors often find them useful and add them to their retinue, but the Inquisitorial Storm Troopers themselves are actually a formal part of the Inquisition before they ever enter service with an individual Inquisitor. They're part of the Inquisition on an organizational level, and they enter the Inquisitions service from the get go, never spending time in the Imperial Guard. That doesn't mean there aren't Imperial Guard Storm Troopers in an Inquisitors retinue, and that they aren't considered agents of the INquisition by dint of their service with their master, but they are not Inquisitorial Storm Troopers just like a Techpriest serving in an Inquisitors staff doesn't suddenly become an Inquisitorial Techpriest.
