That does not matter for my result.
But obviously we go on with multi-digit natural numbers.
You should know that a simpler sequence replacing even and odd numbers
by 0 and 1, repsectively, shows the same result.

No. Every mathematician can determine the limit - not you, of course.

Sets of numbers are sets, whether or not they appear in my sequence of
real numbers. There is no redifinition necessary.

Only if blind men try to read it. But I assume that Seymour J. Shmuel
is not blind. So wait what he will have to say.
