Does that also have to be R, RMA, or RA?


Yup.
Most specifically NOT 'acid' or 'plumbing' flux.
Sorry for shouting but we don't want your relay

Gotcha! You and Smitty Two.

I'd put in a plug for RA flux. I have a lot of old parts that I still
use a lot (e.g. over 10,000 RN55C resistors), and RA flux makes them
solder like new.
