Passing a Room entity as Parcelable

Question

I have an entity class User . I read the posts here and here suggesting that passing ArrayLists of this entity class between intents is a bad idea.

However, if I had a class UserCohort with the following data members:

public class UserCohort {  
private String cohortName;
private ArrayList<User> usersList;
}

and implemented Parcelable on this, does that make it any more acceptable to pass the Entity class around? Or is this a sleight-of-hand?
