Italian term or phrase: fuori di se stessi
This is from a transcription full of extra words and no punctuation.

"....Quindi i credenti della Chiesa di Dio Onnipotente non considerano la loro comunità una comunità fuori di se stessi, Ma si sentono parte al cento per cento,."

The scholar has just described a the "beautiful" ending of a film, showing how a young girl who had lived a very distressing childhood had found faith when some aunts intervened in her broken home and introduced her and her mother to the church/book of faith.

a separate community
Explanation:
The believers do not think they are a separate community but part and parcel of the community even if not physically but because of their belief in God. It is God that unites them not the physical building. They are part of it 100%

Separate has a noun-community. It is part and parcel of that community because of their belief in God. Like isolated. They are not physically part of the community but because of both sides' belief in God, they are part of the same community

an external aspect


Explanation:
Let's remember that we sometimes need to move away from the words per se and translate the image and/or meaning. Here's is what I think they're trying to convey:

"The followers of The Church of Almighty God do not consider their community as an external aspect of their lives, rather they feel completely at one with it, that it is an integral part of themselves, that it is their home, not a physical one built with walls, but rather a spiritual one built on faith, because one’s home is not something external, one’s true home is inside one’s heart, and it’s God, faith in God."

Notes to answerer
Asker: What do you mean separate? separate from what?

Asker: Do you mean isolated? (separate needs a noun)

Asker: Yes but separate from what? You cannot say separate without saying (or implying previously) what they are separate from. Do you mean isolated?

Asker: Separate + noun = I meant separated from what noun? We cannot just say "a separated community" without stating what they have been separated from.

Asker: Hi, yes, but it makes no difference, "community that is separate/different from ??noun??"

Asker: Different from + noun
