Yes indeed.

Reyna mentions in SoN that some legacies might not be able to use their ancestors' powers. This can happen even among demigods. Ariadne, before she died, was half-immortal (daughter of Pasiphae). Yet, she isn't shown displaying godly powers.

Some fans have a theory that the ability to see through the Mist is a godly trait. According to this theory, all mortals are legacies, whether near or distant. In most mortals, due to dilution of blood / not using godly powers, the ability is absent. However, it is preserved in a few mortals.
