Ultra-Reformed?

I have a question concerning an individual who although claiming to be in the Faith refuses to fellowship with other believers simply because in her opinion, there is no one close enough who is "reformed" enough to worship with. In other words this person does not attend church anywhere simply because she believes she is too Reformed to associate with other believers.
What I would like to know then is this, is this person sinning against the Lord by not accepting other believers because she considers her self superior to them simply because she may have more knowledge of the ways of the Lord and a deeper understanding of the Reformed faith. This same person also believes that true Christian don't sin even though she has sinned many a time against others and has refused to acknowledge any wrong on her part. Is it wrong for a true Christian to refuse to worship with other Christians simply because they are not as reformed as we may be? Is this not sin also?
