Can I buy one copy of a Red Hat package and redistribute it as the GPL

You can, however you would be violating the terms of your Red Hat
Network service, and Red Hat would be in their rights to terminate your
service.
So there is a penalty for violating the restriction. Can you still
claim there is no restriction?
Common misconception. You don't buy RHEL. You buy a subscription to
the Red Hat Network service.
The question wasn't about buying it. It was about the redistribution
restriction attached that the GPL does not permit.
