You need a Gemstone for a gem to live. Lion doesn't have a gemstone. Steven has Rose's gem. Lion can't be Rose if Steven has her gem. Even if Lion does have a gem (and I'm not saying that he has) it wouldn't be Rose Quartz. Lion may have just been a close companion to Rose. She probably kept him hidden or called onto Lion just before she gave up her physical form. Lion doesn't necessarily have to be Rose for him to acquire her belongings.
