New cat

Hi, my name is Claire and I am looking for some advice. We took on 2 rescue cats after their owner passed away, 6 years ago (brother and sister) then approx 5 years old and they have the most beautiful temperaments, never scratched, bit, hissed, they were just so affectionate....we really hit the jackpot. They got along so well and snuggled up often. Sadly my beautiful Daisy passed away last year from a blood clot.
We have just adopted another rescue cat and we did the separation, scent swap, sniff through the door, visual through glass and then meeting gradually over a week. I know some people may think that is too soon, but we were really led by them and their reactions. The new cat who is 4 also has a lovely temperament and apart from being naturally weary and sussing each other out, there has only been a little meowing when they are closer and no aggression or fighting whatsoever. My question is, for those who had a similar experience, how long did it take for them to fully accept each other? Does the fact that they have no aggression towards each other mean they will be buds?
