FRIA sites do not require you to get the FAA's license or a remote ID period. FRIA sites are called FRIA sites because they've been approved for modelers to fly there by the FAA. FRIA sites are your typical remote control flying club sites. these sites submitted applications through the AMA and then were granted approval from the FAA. FRIA sites are the typcial clubs which are part of AMA and require a AMA membership and a club membership. that's all you need to know or worry about. if you fly anywhere else other than a airfield club you need a license and remote ID broadcast dohicky.
so to reiterate,
to fly anywhere you want you need,
1. FAA license.
2. remote ID broadcast system.

to fly at a FRIA site, (aka rc club flying field) you need to follow the club's guidelines which are almost always,
1. the club membership
2. AMA membership. https://join.modelaircraft.org/enrol...xoC5jgQAvD_BwE

please, stop trying to overthink it's hurting your brain and causing mass confusion for everyone else too.
You should read the 2nd sentence again. No where does it say anything about registering with the FAA. It says only that you don't need Remote ID if you fly at a FRIA. The registration requirement came out long before the remote ID requirement.
