From personal experience my ketchup has survived outside of the fridge very well. I have never seen mouldy ketchup probably becuase I eat it too quickly. I tend to place my ketchup bottles in the fridge only because I now prefer the taste of cold ketchup over warm ketchup. So, No, you don’t have to, but eat it within a few months.
