Basically sounds like she wants the party without the rite of passage. Don't you have to go to classes before you are confirmed? Even if she was Jewish, isn't there work that has to happen before you get a bar or bat mitzvah?

For my bar mitzvah I spent a year going to special classes. The event required understanding, learning how to read and sing certain passages of the Torah - and let me tell you when you don't have vowels on Hebrew letters it becomes even more difficult especially when you have to sing it in a particular fashion. Bat mitzvahs are generally newer celebrations and are mostly just parties while some denominations like Reform may also read.
