Of course they are acting the same as Meredith. Both are using Red Lyrium.
Technically Meredith never "used" Red Lyrium.

Maybe her powers were a result of The Red Lyrium sword/idol reacting with the normal lyrium she and other templars regulary ingest
I can't really imagine Meredith sitting there guzzling parts of her sword. I think its more a case of exposure to start with rather than ingestion. If we use the profane as an example, I imagined that they lived among the lyrium until the song drove them mad and they were driven to eat it. In the case of the red templars, they seem to be found in a location containing large amounts of red lyrium. Its possible that such a large amount caused perfectly sane templars to go mad, then start eating it. And voila!
Of course, this is just my speculation ![]()
