With all due respect, that’s Catholic stuff, not Christian stuff.

As far as I know, the most the bible gets into it is “do not forsake the gathering together of yourselves.

The Christian experience is so personal (between the Christian and God) that any get together of humans that are Christian is kinda like a family reunion more than anything else. And most definitely not a “requirement”.
This includes “going to church”.

Incorrect. Catholics are the original Christians and those who've drifted away from the Bride of Christ of their own accord don't have a very thorough appreciation of the history of Christianity. You also need to pay attention. The post I responded to specifically asked a question regarding Catholic teaching, teaching which is based on Scripture.

Better brush up on your reading of Scripture and not the abridged and heavily edited version of it that you apparently are loosely familiar with.

The idea that the Bible ALONE is the sole rule of faith, isn’t Christian.

The teaching can’t even be found in the Bible.

Nevertheless, non-Catholic Christians hold many truths, and the Holy Spirit undoubtedly works through these churches to varying degrees.

But only Christ’s Church possesses the fullness of truth.

To reject the infallibility of Christ’s Church is to reject the inerrancy of Scripture, since the Church wrote, preserved and canonized Scripture.

There is no verse in Scripture that instructs us to meet on Sundays and it's a sin not to. That's a man-made contrivance.

The only requirement for salvation is .....

Romans 10:9-13 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
