Approach category

If you’ve ever argued with a pilot, you know opinion doesn’t go as far as a solid reference, if one exists. As such seeking out a reference regarding at what point does one become governed by a particular approach category.

Assigned 180 kts to the FAF, released from ATC speed control inside of it. I say on an approach that has straight in minimums, that the minimums for a particular category apply from the FAF in. Other pilot says that once established on the FAC, even well outside the FAF that higher category minimums apply.
