In a sense he is right—it’s just that some people are also invited to be Baptized or go to Confession or be fully received first.

They're required to be baptized and have gone to confession first (if one has any unconfessed mortal sins on one's soul); only baptized Catholics in a state of grace can receive Holy Communion.

But is this even a Catholic Mass? It's apparently a Protestant chapel that's been reopened, and the article mentions the diocese (Catholic, I assume?), but there's nothing about an actual Mass being performed? Why would the Protestants open a chapel and have the first service there be a Catholic Mass? That maketh not much sense...
