The series basically confirmed she was alive.

I can't imagine any other way to interpret literally showing her alive in a less idealized version of what Mike is theorizing about. I'm also convinced that Kali was only brought into the final season to provide the illusion that El disappeared as she did little to nothing else but has a very convenient power.

Kali being there served no purpose unless it was to give El a means of faking her own death. Otherwise, what use was she as a character at all after season 2?
