As discussed above, she was the Eighth Witch for the purpose of casting the curse, she didn't actually join the Coven. I think we are twisting words for no good reason when the show is deliberate and straightforward.

Gothel said that Regina was once the Eighth Witch, so she was a temporary member of the Coven. It’s Gothel’s handpicked group, how can we debate who is in her group otherwise? It doesn’t matter if Roni says shes not going to join Gothel now or didn’t want to then. Gothel says that Regina was the Eighth Witch of her Coven once, then that is exactly who she was.
