Presumably not very well. Sometimes, without saying "sorcerers cannot enter, wizard levels are mandatory", they make a PRC which just plain isn't any good for sorcerers and just has the unwritten requirement that you have to be a wizard or you'll never want that class (well maybe not "never", but functionally so). If you want to try and qualify for a Cleric-based class as a Favored Soul (nevermind why you would even want to try, given that FSes get every spell a level later than Clerics, and thus take longer to qualify for anything that demands divine spells of a level higher than 1st), then you may just have to put up with some of your stuff sucking, unless you can talk the DM into ruling more generously. This being the RAW thread, though, I am not aware of any RAW which would specify that you do add non-cleric levels to a stat which simply says "cleric level" in how to calculate it. So, absent any such specification, you can't.
