So Dave, if you are not reading any continuity between neutral and ground that receptacle is not grounded.
What I meant by this was BEFORE any wires were connected to the outlet. When testing for continuity between the ground lug & the neutral lugs, there would be no continuity. I agree with all that you said.
Here, when installing them, the code states that you must use 3/14 or 3/12 wire to each receptacle, where the ground wire must be attached directly to the box and stop there. The red conductor, which is taped green, attaches to the ground lug on the outlet.
