How can that happen if they don't marry? Can faith, repentance, baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit alone save a person in the Celestial Kingdom?
Is there a verse that says baptized individuals go to CK?

It’s the highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom where you have to be married.

Thanks. I'm trying to find LDS documentation for 3 levels within the CK. I remember reading it but don't recall the source.

Found it!
From another revelation to the Prophet Joseph, we learn that there are three degrees within the celestial kingdom. To be exalted in the highest degree and continue eternally in family relationships, we must enter into “the new and everlasting covenant of marriage” and be true to that covenant. In other words, temple marriage is a requirement for obtaining the highest degree of celestial glory. (See Doctrine and Covenants 131:1-4) All who are worthy to enter into the new and everlasting covenant of marriage will have that opportunity, whether in this life or the next.
