RFC 822 does not say that. It says that Return-Path "is intended to identify a path back to the originator of the message", and in the next sentence explicitly differentiates this from Reply-To. Return-Path is more to indicate where bounces would go (although in practice you'd use the SMTP envelope sender instead).
