I want to be listed on their site so people can find me (and don't think I'm a serial killer because I don't have an account), be able to SSO log in through Facebook when unavoidable, and be able to add people to my friends list if want to have them in my address book and reach out to them through Messenger.

Outside of that I actually never want to log into facebook or use any of its other functionality. How do I accomplish that?

Just don't login there. I use the Messenger and Events apps on my phone and log in to Facebook on desktop once a month to accept/decline friend requests.

For me the reasons to stay in Facebook are

1) I can contact pretty much anyone via the Messenger - only a handful of the people I usually talk to use (for example) Signal.

2) I get event invitations. For that the Events app is perfect.
