agreed, but will the TEST button still work without a ground?

Yes.

The test button does not send any current to ground so no ground is
required for it to work.

Thanks. I wondered about that too.

Looks like I won't have a problem going ahead with the GFCI even

You will be fine. If in doubt, look it up on Google or better yet, read the
box sides in the store; the information is usually right on the outside of
the containers.
