GFCI receptacle on 2 wire circuit

[Hendrix]

Should the test button still work on this ungrounded circuit?

Yes, the test button on the GFCI device does not rely on an EGC to operate.

Just to add a gfci receptacle monitors the current flow ( via a differential transformer in the device) between the ungrounded and grounded conductors.
