99 Century Custom occasionally doesn't start.
What we don't know is if they looked at the gauge on the dash, or load tested it, or poked it with a volt meter, or turned on a bunch of accessories while observing headlight brightness, or looked at the date stamp, or just looked at the outside of the battery and said "yup looks good to me".
We have no reliable way to diagnose based on this. If I had to guess (which at this point is my only option), I'd say we're chasing a worn-out starter, bad cable, bad battery, and/or dirty/bad/corroded terminals on the battery.
JLucas, please get us some real numbers and information and then we can help you further.
Okay so at this point we know JLucas got the battery tested somewhere and somehow . . . and more importantly that JLucas didn't test it themself. This means likely whoever "tested" it said "[hey JLucas, that battery of yours tested fine and is in good condition]".

Ah, there we go. Whoever checks it next, get the voltage reading. If Autozone can do a load test, please have them do it. That will give us better info.
