No idea as to whether or not she was a real Catholic, but I have real doubts about her nun claim—either she wasn’t a real nun or the order’s practice and formation stank, as evidenced by her claiming to have worn the scapular for many years—the scapular (a miniature religious habit—pieace of clothing) shows a spiritual affiliation with the Carmelites (a religious order) and if you join an order that is not the Carmelites you set it asside in favour of the order that you have joined. Wearing the habit and the scapular is the equivalent of simultaneously wearing the uniforms of two different teams—it doesn’t make sense.

It may be that she and her superior were ignorant of this fact—in which case she shows that her formation is such that in her case being an ex-nun should not be given much weight, or it may be that the thing is a fraud, and should be given even less weight, as the judgment of some one who lies to promote the truth is not to be trusted.
