on top of the sensor, the manufacturers put a filter that allow in (basically) only visible light.
Shorter wavelength like ultraviolet don't get to the sensor.
Longer wavelength like infrared don't get to the sensor either.
When you remove that sensor filter that makes the camera "full spectrum": it will record all the wavelengths  it can: some near UV, and lot of IR. The images recorded look quite weird. Interesting but weird.
In order to shoot infrared, you need another filter in front of the lens to block any light that is not IR.
That gives you the typical black and white infrared look with white plants and dark sky, or the false colors effects.
here are some examples I shot yesterday with that WB35F:

Black and white

False colors

Black and white

Monochrome Cold

It's just some glass, some silicon and magnesium. It isn't a religion.
