We know they are separate because Raven pointed out her Grimm Arm cannot conduct Aura. We don't know how this works. That Grimm is certainly not the same as other Grimm and that Grimm probably has as much interest in getting out alive as Cinder. It is an intelligent creature and may understand that its best chance of escaping alive is with its host. Should it be able to keep her from dying through some means then it may do so in its own survival interests.
