Perhaps meme2704 was thinking about the Sketcher point, which indeed cannot be used for such a loft, as it is only construction geometry.
Right, so what is the right method?

read the wiki, its all explained there and is too complex to just endlessly repeat on the forum.

The point/vertex can be a Draft WB point but there is also a point in Part WB.

Part_Loft particularly under the subtitle "Limitations and complications"

and

Part_Sweep
Haven't read/seen this post until now.
The point form Part WB, is a "good" point for lofting. Maybe "the natural" point :D for using within this WB.
I have uploaded many FreeCAD video tutorials to my YouTube channel
