Personally couldnt see why you wouldnt I loved Faith and yeah she kinda screwed 'em over in season 3 but i think she redeemed herself

agreed
she pretty much fitted in to scooby status to start with and then defo in season 7

Rocky relationship but overall yes.

Nah, she was kinda separate....maybe by season 7. I think if the show had gone on she definitely would have been one.

I'm more for Faith being part of the Fang Gang. :) She seemed to fit with them more.

It doesn't matter even if she was the nicest never went evil person on the planet. The four Scoobies won't ever actually let anyone else in.

i think she fitted in with the crowd sometimes but i don't think she could ever be a scoobie .

jesterlady personnally i wouldnt consider the scoobys to be just Giles Willow Buffy and Xander I would also include Cordy Anya Tara Angel Spike possibly Dawn and while watching Season 7 (or reading season 8) Andrew although there were only four constants In my opinion the reach of the scooby name stretches past those 4.

No they never accepted Faith. Even after she has been on the "path of redemption" for quite a while [longer than she was bad]. In Season 8 Buffy & Co still don't accept her as part of the gang. Honestly they made Andrew a Watcher!
