Does an AFCI need a ground to work? I think I should know that but I don't.

No, it only needs to compare hot and neutral.

I don't think it compares hot and neutral. GFCIs do that. AFCIs look for a wave form change.

The Leviton site says they're outlets work in older homes with two wire circuits so that answers my question.

Sorry - I screwed up, meant "their" outlets not "they're" outlets.

Wow, how PC AHR has become. We now have people correcting their word
usage mistakes. I was about to say spelling mistakes, but it's not
that. Then I was going to say grammar, but I don't think it's that
either, really. So, being afraid of making my own mistake and having
to correct it, I used "word usage mistake". I hope that is correct
and PC.

When I was 6 years old, I decided that all grownups were full of crap, some 6 decades later my opinion hasn't really changed. Maybe a little. ^_^
