A level 3 Ranger is not a spellcaster at all, and thus is not of the right class to complete the casting of a divine spell scribed by a Druid. (This is substantially different from a level 3 Druid.) A level 4 Ranger is a divine spellcaster.
Technically, the language "arcane spellcasters can only cast arcane scrolls, and divine spellcasters can only cast divine scrolls" doesn't say anything about characters who are neither of those things at their current level. The character has the spell on their class list, and I still don't see any language which indicates that activating a scroll counts as casting a spell. Hm...

Q550
If a level 3 Ranger has ranks in Use Magic Device and attempts to use it to activate a scroll containing a Ranger spell, how many checks are required?
