I have some old 455kHz ceramic filters... maybe that's the way to do

Ummm.... no. I suggest that you give up on building your own and
purchase something that has a chance of actually working:

Look for 315 MHz and something with a momentary/timed/latch output
jumper for the relay(s). Install the receiver antenna or the entire
receiver outside your shielded garage for optimum range.


Looks like my opener receiver is part of the whole control board. Do
you know of any stand-alone receivers that can be "trained" to the
remotes built-into automobiles? I think my Q45 remote is Homelink
brand.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
