Short Answer: Most probably, 'Yes'.
.
But ...
That said ...
.
For starters ... and, please bear with me here ...
.
We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
We ONLY have "Branches" (ie. "Ancestral" lines), that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
"Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is NOT like other 'On-line' "Websites"; and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes.
.
We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees' in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' like other 'On-line' "Websites"; and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes.
.
We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
"Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is built on a "Open Edit" Platform - hence, why any registered User/Patron can "Edit" (ie. Add, Delete; and/or, Change) ANY "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
"Deceased" individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' DO NOT reside with the User/Patron who initially created them - they are "Public".
.
If fact, we can ONLY see "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; except, with this 'rider', that you can ALSO only see "Living" individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' that YOU created; as, they reside in your "Private Spaces" in your 'FamilySearch' Account.
.
Now ...
That said ...
.
For, BOTH, you; and, the other User/Patron [be-it, a Member of the Church; or, a non-member, makes NO difference], to connect/link TOGETHER, you MUST both individually add ANY (and, all the) "Living" individuals/persons that connect/link you both together; BEFORE, you can connect/link to the "Deceased" individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
In other words, you BOTH have to have DUPLICATES (ie. 'Copies') of any "Living" individuals/persons that connect/link you both together, in your respective 'FamilySearch' Accounts.
.
Furthermore ...
.
No other User/Patron can see ANY "Living" individuals/persons that were created by another User/Patron; as, they ONLY reside in the "Private Spaces" of the User/Patron who created them.
.
We CANNOT even see the ACTUAL Record in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' of our IMMEDIATE Family (eg. Spouse; Children; Parents; Siblings; ETC; Etc; etc) if they are "Living"; and, they have their own 'FamilySearch' Account.
.
Of course, you can create your "Living" Family members; and, record them in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch"; but, they will ONLY be seen by you:
.
- You cannot "Share" them with any other User/Patron.
.
- You cannot "Merge"/'Combine" them with any other "Living" individual/person residing in the "Private Spaces" of another User//Patron.
.
There is CURRENTLY no mechanism in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' for Users/Patrons, to "Share"; or, "give permission" to "Share", the "Living" individuals/persons in their own "Private Spaces" with/between other/another User/Patron.
.
There are a myriad of "Privacy" Laws within the many various Countries and Unions throughout the World - it is a nightmare to negotiate.
.
"Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is used in many Countries and Unions throughout the World; and, as such, must adhere to the myriad of "Privacy" Laws throughout the World.
.
Hence, "Privacy" is one of the reasons that we cannot "Share" the "Living" individuals/persons in our own "Private Spaces" - it is NOT the ONLY reason; but, certainly has a bearing on the matter.
.
Another factor is that such would have to be 'Coded'/'Programmed' into the Programme that is "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
'Yes', these "Living" individuals/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' WILL, in fact, in many (most) cases will be "Duplicated" - unfortunately a necessary situation that currently cannot be avoided.
.
I know that there are "Duplicates" of the "Living" ME - at least, one for my Wife and each of our Children, not to mention my other ("Living") extended Family members.
.
Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch' in regard to "Private Spaces" and "Living" individuals/persons:
.
What is a private space in Family Tree?
.
Who can see my living relatives in Family Tree?
.
.
I hope this helps.
.
Now ...
As an aside ...
.
IF, all the "Living" individuals/persons that connect/link you both together, already exist; or, you have both subsequently added them, in your respective 'FamilySearch' Accounts; THEN, there is another option available to you; and, that is to ENABLE "Relationship Viewing" (which can be found by selecting your "Display Name"; then, selecting, "Settings" from the 'Drop Down' Menu; and, then, selecting the "Permissions" 'Tab').
.
.I hope this may help further.
.
Of course, you can also use the "Third Party" Application that is "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', found in the "Solutions Gallery" of 'FamilySearch'
https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/
being (BYU) "RelativeFinder":
.
https://www.relativefinder.org/#/main
.
.You simply use your 'FamilySearch' credential's (ie. UserName; and, Password) to get up and running.
.
There are many 'Bells and Whistles' ...
.
Enjoy
.
Good Luck.

The way to link trees is by entering a common relative; once the common relative is added your trees will link. Family Tree is a collaborative tree and each person does not "own" their trees.
