Default Replacing GFI Breaker

You're correct, He's replacing an old GFCI with a new one. Old model GFCI's
like "Murray" had two white wires on them. One to connect to the neutral
buss in the panel and one to connect to the load neutral of the circuit. The
new "Murray" type GFCI's have replaced the load neutral "wire" with a
terminal on the breaker

Doesn't a GFI breaker need to sense the neutral current which it compares
to the hot current, if different then trip. So it would need to have a
neutral to the loads as well as a neutral to the ground bus.

I am replacing a GFI breaker. The old breaker has 2 white wires (one
striped). The new breaker has only one white wire.

Is the new breaker compatible?
