Yes, Michael is a different person - to a point. But his instincts are still pretty much intact. Vinnie is blood amidst a sea of flesh. Only Connie and Neri are are there from the old days. Like so many of us, Michael is a fatalist and does realize that he is vulnerable. If Connie saw Vinnie's strength as reflective of her father, than certainly Michael does also.
