pvc, cpvc, glue

What would happen if someone (not me) used Oatey PVC Rain-R-Shine cement on CPVC pipe. To my knowledge, it is not listed for use with CPVC. Question is: Will it fail or will the joint hold?

It's not so much the material but the fact that CPVC can be used for hot water supplies and that will cause the blue stuff to fail.

This particular joint is a 90 degree in the CPVC after the water enters the house (main shutoff) but before the water goes to the water heater. Sounds like it might be ok in this case. (not that I'm happy about it)
Am I understanding correctly?
