No, it doesn't work like that at all. A revenant is a being created from a corpse or a ghost design to terrorize the living, considering Shinnok poisoned the Jinsei, Raiden had to use his own essence as a way of purifying it, sucking out the poison as you will. Considering Shinnok's a Fallen Elder God and Raiden's a mere God, the complete poisoning what Shinnok did likely corrupted Raiden considering Shinnok's raw power.
