mass is mass

but it doesn't explain the inconsistency in the gravitational lensing effect in regards to the OP. If gravity does not exist then it wouldn't matter how you obtain that mass because there is no gravity to warp space around that mass.

edit to add: it also doesn't address the fact that denser objects have greater mass/gravity. The OP seems to think that only size matters (no comment on that one).
