Instantiate a Manifest.toml without Project.toml

I have a Manifest.toml file without a Project.toml file. When I activate the environment and instantiate, instantiate runs but does not load the packages (and red arrows remain). Is this a bug or do I not get the process?

(working) pkg> activate .

(conv) pkg> st
    Status `~/Dropbox/Julia7/MLJ/MLJ/sandbox/conv/Project.toml`
  (empty environment)

(conv) pkg> st -m
