This is incorrect. A GFCI operates by comparing the
current flow between the current carrying conductor
and the grounded conductor (aka neutral). If they don't
agree within some small percentage, the GFCI will
interrupt the current flow. While it is preferred that
it be grounded it is not strictly necessary to obtain
the benefit of a GFCI.
