The magnetic field from the GDO coil induces a current in each turn of the coil to which it is coupled. The current induced is in series with the coil, and so the circuit is really a series resonant circuit, not a parallel one. The same thing happens with link coupling to a parallel L and C.

I can't believe you would say such a thing, Peter. Perhaps I missed
the smiley face? :-)

You are confusing the current within a component with the current
within a circuit.
