You can walk the network graph and talk to any node in the p2p network graph with ports open and check to see if they have a tx in their mempool.
Something is telling me you’re playing pedantic word games to avoid the point, which is it’s absolutely possible to show someone a tx which has been filtered, because it would be a transaction not in any block, nor none of the reachable networks mempool.
Here - let me even help you out - you can create a 0 fee tx, and that would be a “filtered” transaction. It takes a few minutes to do it on a core node in the console.
