contents Geometric representations provide a useful perspective on critical phenomena in the Ising model. In a recent study [Phys. Rev. E 112, 034118 (2025)], we found that the two-dimensional critical Ising model exhibits two consecutive percolation transitions for geometric spin clusters as the bond-occupation probability $p$ between parallel spins increases. Here, through extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we show that this phenomenon does not persist in three dimensions, where we observe only a single percolation transition on critical Ising configurations. Further theoretical analysis of the Ising model on the complete graph also yields the same scenario. In addition, we study percolation on a two-dimensional layer embedded in the three-dimensional critical Ising model. For this layer system, we estimate the red-bond exponent $y_p = 0.426(6)$ and the fractal dimensions of the largest cluster, hull, and shortest path as $d_f = 1.8926(20)$, $d_{\rm hull} = 1.663(4)$, and $d_{\rm min} = 1.080(10)$, respectively. These values indicate a distinct universality class induced by coupling to out-of-plane critical correlations.
