Nevertheless, this inclusive group still needs to be drawn and called.
[if I understand your point ^ ]
Here is where the following post I made (some time back) comes in.
Consider carefully:
[quoting old post]
Re:
"many are called, but few chosen"
-- G2564 - kaleó / kalesai / keklēmenous - "to call / invite / name"
-- G2822 - klétos / klētoi / klētois - "to call / invite / summon"
It is important to notice
how EACH of these is used in
BOTH [/EACH] the
Matthew 22:1-14 passage
AND the
Romans 8:28,30 verses
G2564 - kaleó / kalesai / keklēmenous - "to call / invite / name" -

[these ^ had rejected the invitation/call, per vv.3,5,6 (re: "the FEAST/SUPPER" thing)]
Matthew 22:9 V-AMA-2P
GRK: ἐὰν εὕρητε καλέσατε εἰς τοὺς
NAS: as you find [there], invite to the wedding feast.'
KJV: ye shall find, bid to

[
note: the
Matthew 22:1-14 passage is referring to the "guests [plural]" of "the wedding
FEAST/SUPPER" i.e. the promised and prophesied
earthly Millennial Kingdom commencing upon His "RETURN"
to the earth, whereas the
Romans 8 passage is referring to (that which pertains to) "the Church which is His body" (who is not "the guests [plural]"), so there's that distinction to be noted also [which has to do with the "chronology" issue
]--
not that this makes much difference in
how the words are
used (re: call/invite)]
[quoting from BibleHub]
"In the NT,
2822 /klētós ("divinely
called") focuses on God's general call – i.e. the call (invitation) He gives to all people, so all can receive His salvation. God desires every person to call out to Him and receive His salvation (1 Tim 2:4,5). "Unfortunately, many choose
not to – but
all can; all
don't but
all can call out to God for His mercy (
not just 'some')" (G. Archer)." [source: Bible Hub]

Are you seeing my point [
or, after examining the above, see it] about
how these
two Greek words are used
in both of these
two distinct contexts?
[this relates also to the "chronology" issues]
