If NAT is an implicit firewall, then so is an unplugged network cable. I guess it's technically true, but isn't a particularly meaningful assertion - you might as well say that NAT is also 'not a donkey'. Again, technically true, but doesn't really help.
Firewalls are packet filters. Confusing routing and packet filtering doesn't help anybody solve any problems.
We're talking (I think) about how to mitigate threats from the public internet by dropping unwanted traffic with IPv6. The answer is a firewall (as it is with IPv4).
