No, Jesus said 'So My heavenly Father will do to you if you do not forgive your brothers" and "forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors", and "disciple the nations teaching them to observe what ever I have commanded", so it applies to us.

Jesus said to go disciple the nations teaching them to observe what He commanded, and we have those words there to disciple us.

Yes, those who unbecome sons were never sons, so the passage never applied.

They have to have been born again, because their sins were forgiven, which only happens when a person believes--and the rescinding of the forgiveness proves his faith (counted as righteousness) went away.

No, Jesus was laying down rules for the Church--as He said, "Go and make disciples of all nations teaching them to observe what ever I have commanded you." The stipulation "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors" applies to the (forgiven) Church.

I didn't put those words in your mouth, I simply showed the flaw in your approach. Anyway, I await your response to Mt 18.

1 Co 11 refers to eating and drinking the Lord's supper. It refers to eating and drinking unworthily. Ro 14:23 refers to doing ANYTHING AT ALL contrary to your convictions (14:5)--because "God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith" (Ro 1:17).

Romans 14 23But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin. Sin results in condemnation.

By that same logic, you could rebut Paul, "Yes, but does that mean we were brought out of Egypt?" LOL It doesn't matter. What matters are the principles.

"If they were of us they would have continued with us"

"We are now sons" : it applies to sons.

They become in a category of the never-saved-by-grace-through-faith.

Yep, I believe it--to all those who are sons, this applies, and to the ones who unbecome sons it doesn't (never did)!

Matthew 18 21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!e 23Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle...

You accept certain Scriptures that way, and others you do not.

Sorry, it not my intention. Obviously, I deny that Ezekiel said that.

Do you believe God forgets righteousness? LOL That that might have anything to do with being blotted out of the Book of Life?

That was never intended as a statement that Ezekiel says faith is counted as righteousness, I only cited Ez 18:24, and not Ro 4, because "faith counted as righteousness" is already known, whereas the dynamic from Ezekiel isn't as well known.

If "unwritten caveats" means "context", yes.

IDK if the Christians mentioned in Heb 6 committed that sin, but it says they cannot be brought back to repentance... so they are distinct from the Galatians, whom Paul seeks to restore. Irrespectively, if their faith counted as righteousness is forgotten, they are no longer in the saved...
