Partial Restore of Filegroups

When using Red-Gate filegroup (partial) restores, are the tables in filegroups that are NOT restored still listed in SSMS - even though they are not restored and have no data?
I am trying to prove the process of initializing transactional replication from a backup/restore process and do not want the non-replicated tables showing up on my subscriber.
I have put all my replicated tables in specific filegroups, backed up by filegroups and restored only the filegroups of replicated tables, but the non-replicated tables also show up - the process I have been using is outside of the Red-Gate tool.
So, I need to know if after using Red-Gate for this purpose if the non-replicated tables would still showup on my subscriber. I currently do not have Red-Gate SQL Backup with which to test.

Perhaps you could obtain the results you want using Red Gate's data synchronization tools i.e. SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare?
