unfit to remain a member of the parish or the Catholic church

Here's where you and the Catholic Church differ. She is perfectly welcome as a member of the Church. HOWEVER, she is expected to repent AND to sin no more.

Your HOWEVER is exactly my point. My limited understanding of the Catholic church is that people who repeatedly commit mortal sins and are unrepentant are excommunicated, not awarded.

Have I got that wrong?
