I wouldnt say you have to call down all the way. Usually my line is check call flop check turn and bet river if teh turn is checked through.

Though if you are going to just call (i dont love it) preflop then you could also raise his cbet on the flop (also gives credit for when you do it with non top pair hands)

I think an argument for a bet, call or raise preflop can be made depending on your read. Like if you know a reraise will pick up the pot a large percentage then I like this.
