I defend the Society and attend Masses said by Society priests; I adhere to the Catholic Faith without compromise. Is that sufficient for you?

That will be between you and God. You are unwilling to distinguish between defense of the schism and adhering to it which gives rise to the obvious inference that you adhere to the schism. The Faith is not the schism per JP II. The schism is not the Roman Catholic Church or any part of it, per JP II. Like it or lump it.

At the very least, for one who defends the schism, attendance at SSPX Masses (meritorious as a Mass but perfectly replaceable by any Indult Mass or Novus Ordo Mass) would also seem to be a near occasion of sin. God gave you free will to use or abuse as you see fit with rewards and consequences. Have a party.

The answer to your question would therefore seem to be no.
