Personally I would simply interpret the show like this: Deaton clearly stated that nothing supernatural can cross/touch mountain ash... well, since Lydia was able to touch it without problems, either:

1. Deaton made a mistake.

2. Lydia is not a supernatural creature.

And since at this point we don't have more info about it, it's useless to argue. So we'll just have to wait until it's clarified in the show. The End. I actually agree with that. However, the argument is not about whether she and banishes are or are not. Or whether Parish and hellhounds are or are not.

The argument is (mostly) about the fact that it shouldn't be listed as canon if we do not know.

People keep misunderstanding the argument, but it seems that you agree, from what we've seen, you no one know for sure.
