Some supposed miraculous birth of Isaac?
Well, (Rom. 9:8) is connected to (Rom 9:6-7). Context. And there the true Israelite is named. I have added nothing.
I thought you said no mention of Israelite was in those verses. Yet now you declare all believers are Israelites.
All believers are children of promise. Some are Israelites, some are not.

One could indeed say all... believers on Christ are 'spiritual' Israelites, even those born of the seed of Israel. That because like Paul said, the children of the flesh are not the children of God, but the children of the PROMISE are COUNTED for the seed.
When you start claiming some miraculous birth of Isaac being involved, you begin assigning the Promise only to the FLESH seed of Isaac, and that is not what Paul said in that Romans 9:8 verse.
