No, because with an ILS GS you always follow the same path through the sky as it is not barometrically referenced: it doesn’t matter what you have on your altimeter. Aircraft around you will be at different relative altitudes depending on the environmental conditions.

I think flyburg has given a good explanation and examples in his post above.
