Surely it is a worthy goal to try not to speak ignorantly, is it not?

Ok, the old church mother (I hope posting that phrase won't get your feathers ruffled) believes that the believers make up the temple which God dwells within. Yet, still refers to the building as the house of God. So, what you are saying above frees this sister of all wrong doing because she isn't ignorant of the true meaning of "house of God" so therefore her using "house of God" to refer to the building isn't wrong?
Her worthy goal has been completed!
