They may have a resistor packaged with it, but a LED is a *DIODE*, and
it requires a resistor.


Well, yes that is true. However they do not require an external
resistor in order to make a complete lighting circuit. Whatever resistance
is needed in built into the unit itself.

I considered that. "Built-in" is not equivalent to "nonexistent".
