I'm not convinced someone could be that ignorant. I've read similar things that turned out to be satire.
Of course, you can not prove if this is serious or a satire, but, still, it is not about being ignorant, but hysteria. You could perhaps explain to this person what the words "really" mean but if he or she got in her head that it's Satanic, then they will just think it's Satanic influence on you.
Here is another example
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
