to plot the plane of intersection of the sphere $x^2+y^2+z^2=1$ and the plane $x+z=0$

Question

I want to plot the plane of intersection of the sphere $x^2+y^2+z^2=1$ and the plane $x+z=0$.

See the edit

I have tried to plot it with the help of https://tikz.net/parametric-sphere/.

My plane of intersection is not very clearly visible. Also I am not sure where this code is correctly developed.

Please help.

This code is working good but \addplot [gray] fill between[of=toppath and botpath];creats a problem. The sphere slides to the left. Please help.

You can use 3dtools

    \documentclass[border=2mm]{standalone}
    \usepackage{tikz}
    \usetikzlibrary{3dtools}% https://github.com/marmotghost/tikz-3dtools
    \begin{document}
        \begin{tikzpicture}[3d/install view={phi=120,theta=70},line cap=butt,
            line join=round,declare function={R=3;},c/.style={circle,fill,inner sep=1pt}]
            \path
            (0,0,0) coordinate (O)
            ;
        \draw[blue,3d/screen coords] (O) circle[radius=R];
        \shade[ball color=white,3d/screen coords,opacity=0.7] (O) circle[radius=R];
        \path pic[blue]{3d/circle on sphere={R=R,C={(O)}}};
        \path  pic[red]{3d/circle on sphere={R=R, n={(1,0,1)}}}; %(1,0,1) is normal vector of the equation x + z = 0

\draw[3d/hidden] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,R)  (O)--(R,0,0) (O)--(0,R,0);
\draw[3d/visible, -stealth] (R,0,0) -- (R + 4,0,0) node[below]{$x$};
\draw[3d/visible,-stealth] (0,R,0) -- (0,R + 1,0) node[right]{$y$};
\draw[3d/visible, -stealth] (0,0,R) -- (0,0,R + 1.5) node[above]{$z$};
\path foreach \p/\g in {O/150}{(\p)node[c]{}+(\g:2.5mm) node{$\p$}};
\draw[fill=gray,opacity=0.2] (-R,R+1,R) -- (R,R+1,-R) -- (R,-R-1,-R) --(-R,-R-1,R) -- cycle;
    \end{tikzpicture}

Run with lualatex, but it needs some time to calculate the intersection:

\documentclass[pstricks]{standalone}
\usepackage{pst-solides3d}

\psset{viewpoint=50 100 10 rtp2xyz,Decran=70,lightsrc=-20 50 20}

\psSolid[object=plan,definition=equation,args={[-1 0 1 0]},base=-1 2 -2 2,
  ngrid=40 40,fillcolor=red!30,linewidth=0pt,name=B1,action=none]
\psSolidobject=sphere,r=1,fillcolor=cyan,ngrid=72 72,name=C1,action=none
\psSolid[object=fusion,linewidth=0.01pt,base=B1_s C1,linewidth=0.01pt,]
