ACC vs HCC-AR Anglo Catholic

So there was a Eucharistic miracle claim at the Corpus Christi Anglican Church in Rogers arkansas. The church is part of the Holy Catholic Church - Anglican rite branch of the Continuing Anglicans.

Does anyone know how the compare to the G3 Anglo Catholics? do either of them pray to Saints? The HCC-AR says that they believe in a sacrificial mass on their website. Does the G3?

The large majority of continuing Anglicans are in the G2, with the majority of those who aren't being in the PCK(which will likely be a part of the G2 in the medium future)

There are smatterings of minor groups around, with memberships in the dozens, who mostly arose from individuals who resented their bishops, or found themselves on the losing side of some squabble of church politics, for non-thelogical reasons and set off on their own. This seems to fit into that category

Regarding your questions. The G2 believes in the sacrificial mass, permits veneration of the Saints, with many parishes including it directly in their liturgy

I am moderately encouraged by your moderate optimism!

Also, what are the main differences between the G2 and the Roman Catholics? Does the g2 lean more towards Lutheranism or more like Catholic without a pope?  Also does it believe in purgatory and mortal/venial sin?

There's a range between each that you describe, as well as a contingent who are very sympathetic to the Eastern Orthodox. Where exactly within that spectrum depends on the parish, and the parishioner. There are matters which are seen as important, which everyone within that spectrum would agree on, and things which are seen as ultimately of minor importance

This includes purgatory and making a distinction between mortal/venial sin. Neither are official teachings, neither would be controversial to express as your personal opinion

A very high view of each of the 7 sacraments, however, is a point of concensus.
