Yes, I've agreed that several times.

No. The above shows that you've constructed a countable sequence of numbers (A0, A1, A2, A3,...) which CAN be listed, namely consider the list (A0, A1, A2, A3,...).

Rubbish. I have never said anything other than that (A0, A1, A2, ...) is a countable sequence of reals that CAN be listed.
