Yes. I was just responding to the claim that with IPv4, thanks to NAT a malicious packet would not be able to be routed anywhere unsafe.
A NAT router without any kind of firewall functionality is incredibly unsafe too so even the cheapest ones have some of it these days.
Which follows that the cheapest IPv6 routers would also have a firewall and thus would not be inherently worse at protecting the internal network than a v4 router doing NAT would.
