Jesus gave almost 50 parables.
NONE use a person's name to convey the message Jesus was saying.
That in and of itself, is pretty conclusive proof Lazarus and the rich man is NOT a parable, but an actual account of 2 people.

Consider that Abraham said they wouldn’t be persuaded if someone raise from the dead. Simply not literally true. The gospel of Christ requires belief in the resurrection. I’m certainly persuaded by Jesus raising from the dead. Are you?
