potential employer brag: they told me the salary UP FRONT?!

I'm in the job search process in the nonprofit field and trying to ask for what I'm actually worth rather than grabbing whatever they'll take me (that's a journey in itself). On an application, I asked for $75k, which is $10k over what I'm making now. Potential employer responded within 2 days to say “We'd like to have a brief video chat, but before we schedule that, the salary range is $45k-$55k, are you still interested?” I'm not sure if I am yet – there would be advantages to this job like WFH and a lot less stress, gonna chat with the wife about it tonight – but I was so impressed that they were willing to talk salary up front and give me actual dollar amounts before any more time was spent on either side.
