Do rogue levels count toward your Familiar's special abilities?

Question

The writing on Familiars says:

All familiars have special abilities (or impart abilities to their masters) depending on the master's combined level in classes that grant familiars.

Since the rogue class can grant a familiar, does that count?

Answer 1

The wording is "that grant familiars," not "that can grant familiars." Rogue counts as a class that grants a familiar if and only if you actually take the familiar talent, and then it only adds (rogue level − 4) to the combined level for the purpose of your familiar’s benefits.
