Compression coupling used between GRC and LFMC conduits

We have a 3/4 rigid metal conduit connected to 90 degree elbow, connected to a metal compression type coupling which connects to a 2 foot long LFMC and then attaches to electrical cabinet - the installation is indoors (not roof top)
Does the compression-type coupling interrupt the fault path? Or is the EGC within the circuit conductors sufficient?

How is the compression coupling connected to the LFMC? Is there a rigid coupling on the end of the 90° elbow? I've never seen a direct RMC to LFMC fitting.

I think I've seen them but not in a compression type, the RMC side was female pipe thread. I know I've seen FPT to EMT compression couplings
