CC613: I’m a girl and therefore cannot evaluate a person’s learning that way. I do sense how “comfortable” the person is quoting Tanach, so if it’s a big deal that they know a random Chazal, they are probably not that educated. But I cannot tell anything about their halachic expertise.

I need to know the following: Is it permissible to call someone who is not a Rabbi, “Rabbi”?
