If you are arming the ILS to follow the localizer inbound to meet the alititude restrictions, I would say you are in violation because the aircraft isn't going to stop at the FAF altitude (remember, you weren't cleared the approach). At my company, we don't arm the ILS unless you are cleared the approach.
