"If a vampire changes clans [,,,] to a clan that belongs to a
different sect, he changes sect as well."
Malvalvis (caitiff) Clan Impersonates a Salubri, becoming
Independent. Later, she burns the Clan Impersonation, becoming
Caitiff again.
By becoming Caitiff, she has just changed clans, certainly, since
gaining or losing a clan is a change in clan. But she has not "change
[d] clans [...] to a clan ...".
So does she remain independent?
She didn't change clans to a clan of a different sect, so her sect
has not been superceded. She remains Independent.

Now she has changed clans to a clan (Lasombra) which belongs to a
different
sect than the sect to which she currently belongs. So she changes sect
to
match the sect of her new clan (Sabbat).
No. She becomes Camarilla. Changing to Caitiff is handled the same as changing
to a clan.
