Yes she does. But before anyone gets upset, she immigrated to the US and there are no Churches here of the sort she belonged to. Essentially she and her family joined our (canonical Orthodox) Church, and she communes, has her icons blessed, confesses, seeks the priest's blessings, celebrates feasts with us, and so on.

It actually took me years to sort out that she came initially from a schismatic group, and the only hint of it is that she prefers the old calendar - which many Orthodox do, and if our parish happened to be one of those she would have nothing to disagree on.Can I ask, does she commune with you?

Be extra weary of the Extra-canonical deutero-Coptic pseudo-Cappadocian new old calendarist moderately old believers of the Carpathian Orthodox. And don’t confuse them with the Syro-Nazarene Melkotian Rohirrim New Old Mayan Calendarist movement coming out of southwestern Albania. Very similar but diametrically different.
But come on, you gotta give the first group props on the aesthetics.
