A creature with a counter on it is considered modified no matter what kind of counter it is or which player put it on that creature.

If a card with persist is removed from the graveyard after it dies but before the triggered ability resolves, it won't be returned to the battlefield.

2024-06-07wotc

Once Obstinate Gargoyle has been blocked, causing it to gain flying by modifying it won't cause it to stop being blocked.
