Preta Path gives the POWER to absorb chakra by touch. But Absorbtion Blocking is a Jutsu that has to be learned. Deva Path gives the POWER to control gravity, but it's techniques (chibaku Tensei, Shinra Tensei, Bansho Tenin) have to be learned.

Probably, it could be speculated that since Momoshiki's Rinnegan differs from the normal Rinnegan (placement, colour, absorption skills etc), his abilities must be different as well, but that's not what I think because Momoshiki has shown some techniques that are common for every Rinnegan user (black receivers, for example). I suspect the Rinnegan's basic Dojutsu power is Power over Chakra. It can see chakra, it can manifest will, it can easily learn elemental transforms and jutsu. The Purple Rinnegan is special in that it gives control over Six Paths Chakra (which itself is power over life and death) and so gives greater power and death-themed powers.
