The role of Co substitution in the low-energy electronic structure of Ca(Fe$_{0.944}$Co$_{0.056}$)$_2$As$_2$ is investigated by resonant photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory. The Co 3d-state center-of-mass is observed at 250 meV higher binding energy than Fe's, indicating that Co posses one extra valence electron, and that Fe and Co are in the same 2+ oxidation state. Yet, significant Co character is detected for the Bloch wavefunctions at the chemical potential, revealing that the Co 3d electrons are part of the Fermi sea determining the Fermi surface. This establishes the complex role of Co substitution in CaFe2As2, and the inadequacy of a rigid-band shift description.
