A few useful answers

What counts as large text?

WCAG uses at least 18-point regular text or 14-point bold text. Screen rendering and font choice can affect practical readability.

Does passing contrast mean a page is accessible?

No. Contrast is one requirement. Keyboard access, structure, labels, focus, and other accessibility factors also matter.
