I got my certificate five days later. I filed emergency to stop foreclosure. I’m mailing in my certificate today before Thursday deadline for documents, even though they didn't even ask me for it.

The certificate has a date and time printed in it. As long as it was completed before filing, no problem.

It matters far less when you file the certificate than it does when you earned the certificate. For your bankruptcy to be valid, you need to have earned the certificate BEFORE you filed your Chapter 13 case. If you failed to do this, it is up to you to apply to the court for a waiver. The bankruptcy court is not responsible for teaching you how to properly represent yourself.
