I tried, but don't really understand what you're asking, and struggle to see how it relates to what I posted.

Alright, that's sad.

Looks like I have to use that oil catch can with no air filter on top of it to maintain right engine oil pressure? Those oil catch cans come with an air filter that could be attached on a top of the can or just the plug(to block the hole) instead of an air filter.

I'm wondering what's gonna happen with an internal engine oil pressure after that catch can installation - will it get lower which is bad for the engine or not that much?

There is no way the catch-can can impact on the oil pressure.

according to the information I've read - it definitely will with the air filter attached to the can. Without the filter an air chamber will slightly increase anyway by additional hoses and can's volume, but I think it's not gonna affect the pressure too much.

So that we can all understand what you're referring to post a link to where you read that a catch-can is able to influence the oil pressure.
