Not true. A "remain clear" prior to departure is no different than one in
the air. After departure, if the controller of the class C airspace makes
radio contact, that is clearance to enter.


Wrong. I don't know who told you that but it is simply not correct. It is
illogical and unsupported by any documentation. Once instructed to remain
clear of Class C airspace you must remain clear until you receive an
instruction that permits or requires entry. That is not my opinion, that is
a fact.
