The entirety of the Reformed confessions are unequivocal in asserting that all believers are to unite themselves to true churches, despite the fact that the churches have many failings. They are also unequivocal in stating that all Christians still sin.

Of course, if this person were to join a confessional Reformed church, she would shortly come under discipline for her false doctrine, i.e., perfectionism. If sinless perfectionism is Reformed, then I'm a helicopter.
