Mat_25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Mat_25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
It's a parable as was everything Jesus taught to the masses. It's a parable about the called and the chosen, nothing more.
So, some are "goats," and "wise and foolish servants," and "wise and foolish virgins," and "pharisee and tax collectors," and "obedient sons and disobedient sons," and "early workers and late workers," and "rich and poor," and "weeds and good plants," etc. all at the same time. The titles are all interchangeable.

Where did you get this 1%?

I am sorry for getting carried away.
The 1% is my own personal observation based on my own experience - nothing more - as I have not found any Scriptures that actally witness to how many the Elect are, except that they are 'few'.
Kind Regards.

I am sorry if you thought I was teaching, as our Teacher is Christ Himself.
I was merely speaking out aloud.
I am sorry for posing these questions, if they offended anyone.
Kind Regards.

Dennis Vogel:
I don't think anyone is offended George.
