I think that the 7 ones are the only NT requirements for a "genuine", "proper" or "true" christian gathering.

The "presence of the Lord" is too subjective of a test for churches, but admittedly, many seeking Christians will use that "test" when visiting churches.
I have many Catholic friends and family who feel the "presence of the Lord" at mass. Who am I to argue? After I was saved, I went to a marriage mass, received communion, and I was filled with the Spirit and the "presence of the Lord." I know some who have been saved at Mass.
