Easy question: Does a Rogue who chose Perception as one of their Expertise skills get double proficiency when that skill is being utilized passively?

 

Say a Rogue at level 1 normally has 2 Perception (cause of 0 Wisdom modifier, but Proficiency) and they chose this as one of the Expertise skills.  When they actively use Perception, they treat this as a 4.  Would this same Rogue's passive perception be 12 or 14?

A month or so back, I was a bit concerned about "am I making a skill check?" and passive score, etc, but the passive check rules clearly say that "all bonuses" to a roll or active check are added to the passive score.
