I'm not sure why you call Judas a lost sheep. Please explain. The two following verses seem to prove otherwise. Am I missing something? I'm really trying to learn.
Matthew 26:24 The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” 25 Judas, who would betray him, answered, “Is it I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said so.”
John 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.

I see in many posts about the descriptive analogy of what a sheep is from being stupid, weak, helpless, docile, blah blah blah.
People might have accepted God but until they overcome their sin nature by killing it daily, they will NEVER be sheep. Because a human with a sin nature still defies God. How many times did God give you the idea to feed someone, buy them something, do this for someone and you rejected to do it?
A REAL SHEEP would have their flesh killed to the point that God could tell them anything and immediately they just do it. That is what obeying the "Still Small" voice is all about.

In addition to those, there is this:
John 17:12
12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
NIV
PT calls him a lost sheep because he doesn't believe in double predestination.

John 17:12
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them and kept them in the name you gave me and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that Scripture might be fulfilled.
John 6:37 Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and him that comes to me. I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent Me draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
Mark 3:13-14 ...and he called to him whom he would and they came to Him. And he ordained twelve, that they should be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach.... 19. And Judas Iscariot...
Judas was called to Jesus and given to Jesus by the Father, not cast out by Jesus, but deserted Jesus and became lost.

Show me a biblical text where my definition does not apply: where a saviour does not rescue people from harm that they could not deliver themselves on their own.
Judges 3:15 calls Ehud a saviour (Greek: sOtEr).
Ehud saved the Israelites, but they contributed something to their salvation from the Moabites..

They must be of His sheep in order to hear His voice.
[Jhn 10:27 KJV] 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
They must be of His sheep to believe in Him.
[Jhn 10:26 KJV] 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
IOW, to first be of His sheep is the prerequisite to everything else.

No, if they can hear they will be doing.
I don't see many doing.
Clearly they are only hearing their own thoughts.
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them will be like a wise man

Jesus said people can HEAR and reject. So get over your false doctrine.
16 “The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
The one who rejects me and does not receive my words <--- you can't reject unless you can first HEAR what to reject.
