In Steel Ball Run, it's stated that things like Hamon will eventually lead to gaining a stand, so the Crusader's being able to see Hermit Purple would probably just be how they saw Joseph's hamon. He definitely didn't have Hermit Purple in Part 2, since Araki hadn't thought about stands at that point in the series.
