Is the Arian Catholic Church a false sect of the Catholic Church?

Arius was recognized as a Saint and Martyr by the Arian Catholic Church on 16th June 2006, which has become his memorial day.

St Arius - Founder of Arianism

Presbyter Saint Arius - remembered for his views
concerning the trinity and
the divinity of
Christ

Arius Officially NOT a Heretic! An interesting point to note is that because Arius was officially re-instated into the Full Communion of the church before he died in 336 AD, by the Emperor of Rome, Constantine I, he officially is NOT excommunicated and therefore NOT a heretic according to the Roman Catholic church!

The “Arian Catholic Church” is an internet church started in 2006. I would take whatever they say regarding Anything Catholic with a Huge Grain of Salt.

No, the Arian Catholic Church is not part of the Roman Catholic Church. Arius himself was excommunicated by the Council of Nicea (from which orthodox Christians got the Nicean Creed), and only a sympathetic emperor brought him back out of exile. He died before he could take Communion again though- and he’s still regarded as a heretic today, especially after the Nicean Creed was reaffirmed in the 380s.
