I agree with you overall (and voted accordingly) but I think this part is a red herring:
You don’t need to go anything like as far as p-zombies to get something that says the same thing. A program consisting of print(“I know that I’m not a zombie since I have consciousness”) etc does the same thing.
It only “says the same thing” in one narrow case; to say all of the same things in the appropriate contexts, the program would need to be tremendously complex.
I mention this because I think you’re clearly correct overall (while of course the words “believe” and “mind” could be defined in ways that do not require consciousness, those are not the relevant senses here), and it would be a pity if the conversation were derailed by that one (IMO) irrelevant example.
