Yes, as long as the CCP module is ON, it has control of the CCP1 pin.

And what's technically wrong with using a transistor???
Nothing really. Just extra parts that don't add any functionality.

But after thinking a little more about it ...
With people that are running and jumping with nylon backpacks while wearing rubber soled shoes ... If the first contact between 2 of them is going to be the connection to deliver a health pack? I think extra ESD protection on those pins would be the biggest concern.
