Is that person playing the game legit or are they, by using a cheat code in order to activate an advantage that is not part of the base game, cheating?

I'm not avoiding answering, you're simply not providing enough information for the question to be answered. For me to answer if something is cheating, I have to know if it's against the rules. It's implicit to the meaning of cheating itself. In GINA's case, when it's been explicitly determined by the rule makers to not be against the rules, I can't even accept a "spirit of the rule" like several others are trying to incorrectly use as an argument. It's simply not cheating and it's absurd to even think that.
Your completely unrelated examples of things like unlimited lives/ammo, whatever, simply do not apply to the situation with GINA and P99. I can't begin to guess where you personally believe where "legit" begins and ends without any context to what is and isn't against the rules because that is basically the linchpin of determining if something is cheating or not.
If you seriously believe that you can be cheating using something that has been expressly permitted in the ruleset, you and I are never going to understand each other. I cannot see how anyone can believe that on the face of it, it just sounds completely absurd.

It absolutely, 101% does. Using SEQ/MQ on a server that allows SEQ/MQ isn't cheating. Using GINA on a server that allows GINA isn't cheating.
