Nobody can delete you from Facebook when you have set your account for deletion can they?

[MUFC 4EVER]

I am trying to figure out whether a friend has deactivate or deleted their account. As I now know they have not blocked me, as I was told if they show still in friends list (even as grey pic) with option for me to befriend, then I was not blocked, as when blocked I would see that person nowhere (that's all correct yeah).
So if a person set their account for deletion, I or nobody else would see them in our friends list would we?

It's just a COMPUTER PROGRAM!

Not real life. Most of the stuff written in the public areas is false. You could even create a Facebook account as a nubile young girl when you are really an OAP granny!
