In everyday language, a legalist is one who lives their life and treats others according to the strict letter of the law. Figuratively, they may be said to "worship" the law but in this sense it is not a spiritual belief system and they have no particular place of worship. In a theological sense, a legalist is one who adheres to or enforces codes of religious theory much like the Pharisees were doing to the Hebrew people when Jesus entered human history. These people may worship in any place appropriate to their spiritual belief system.
