D-algebraicity conjecture for Catalan subsequences

Let (Cn)nN(C_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be the Catalan numbers, and let dN ⁣ ⁣{0}d\in\mathbb{N}\!\setminus\!\{0\}. A sequence is D-algebraic of order 22 and degree 2d2d if it satisfies a polynomial difference equation involving three consecutive terms, CdnC_{dn}, Cd(n+1)C_{d(n+1)}, and Cd(n+2)C_{d(n+2)}, of total degree 2d2d. D-algebraicity conjecture for Catalan subsequences. The sequence (Cdn)nN(C_{dn})_{n\in\mathbb{N}} is D-algebraic of order 22 and degree 2d2d. The claim is motivated by computations for d{1,2,3,4,5}d\in\{1,2,3,4,5\}, while the source expects a proof may follow from a dynamical-system approach; it does not state that the general claim is proved.
