I have been told over the past number of weeks that the expectation for me is that I should come to chant practice able to sing, in solfege, the Introit and Communion Antiphon on my own.

I prefer to use the number of intervals, as that is what I know, but no, only solfege is acceptable. I could give Do an actual note such as C or F, etc and name out the notes as I sing, but no. Solfege is the be all end all
If I ran, I wouldn't be the first person.
