I think you're splitting hairs. An occasional denial of visitation under Grand Lodge rules, while still having a GENERAL right of visitation, is not at all the same thing as "recognition without visitation," where no visitation is permitted under any circumstances. If I were to show up at your lodge, the presumption would be that I'd be permitted to visit, subject to any valid objection. If a "mainstream" Kentucky Mason showed up at a Kentucky PHA lodge, or vice versa, the presumption is that they'd NOT be permitted to visit.
Visitation IS one of the Ancient Landmarks spelled out by Mackey (#14).
LANDMARK FOURTEENTH
THE RIGHT OF EVERY MASON TO VISIT and sit in every regular Lodge is an unquestionable Landmark of the Order." This is called "the right of visitation." This right of visitation has always been recognized as an inherent right, which inures to every Mason as he travels through the world. And this is because Lodges are justly considered as only divisions for convenience of the universal Masonic family. It is right may, of course be impaired or forfeited on special occasions by various circumstances; but when admission is refused to a Mason in good standing, who knocks at the door of a Lodge as a visitor, it is to be expected that some good and sufficient reason shall be furnished for this violation, of what is in general a Masonic right, founded on the Landmarks of the Order.
The main page of the Grand Lodge of Utah says they promote the Ancient Landmarks. I know that not every Grand Lodge has adopted all, or even any, of Mackey's list. What Ancient Landmarks does Utah follow, since they say they promote them?
