They get told?

How did you, who was not born blind, know what to call the bright light that shines at night. We all learn from someone else's knowledge.

They can't any more than they could know what red looks like.

You can tell the blind person what it does, but you cannot tell them what it is -- exactly. The eye operates in the realm of the 5 senses. This problem lies beyond those senses.

How is this related to R&S section? -- other than 1 could answer "by faith" ?
Faith is another way of saying: "Trust what they have been taught/told by someone they trust." -- which is 1 way we can know something. Not by our OWN experience, but by believing in the experiences of others.
Ways in which we can KNOW something:
- sense perception
- inductive reasoning
- deductive reasoning
- emotion
- language
- faith/trust
Some may include imagination and memory - but classically those latter 2 were not considered sources of knowledge.

Those who can see share that knowledge with the blind person.
