Wait, really? Critical hits are unrelated to hits that are critical?
Actually the answer to this question is yes. Critical hits are an extra deal that happens in certain situations. Normally it only counts for rolling a 20 on an attack roll. If you have crit range, or in this case, gain this Ardent champion path feature, you gain the ability to score critical hits in other situations.
But this does not change the fact that the only way to score an AUTOMATIC hit, is to roll a 20. There is a completely separate rule to this. The term Critical Hit, is a misnomer.
