A flight instructor certificate requires either a commercial pilot
or airline transport pilot certificate.

Correct.

You're only flying for hire if you charge for your instruction.

Wrong. You are not flying for hire while giving flight instruction.
You don't even need a current medical unless you're acting as a
required crewmember.

You are if you're being compensated for it.

Wrong again. You're being paid to instruct; not to fly.

required crewmember.

Actually, it is. FAR 61.23 states that you must must hold at least a
second-class medical certificate when exercising the privileges of a
commercial pilot certificate. The FAA had to make a special case in
FAR 61.23 in order to state that you don't need a medical unless the
instructor is a required crewmember (i.e., you're not being paid to
fly).

you are only a required crew member if the student does not have the
rating for the category and class being flown.

....or for the mission. For example, a safety pilot is a required
crewmember for hood practice.

Exactly, which is why I used Required Crewmember.

Review my previous message. Keep doing so until it sinks in.
