The assertion that all died-for are all prayed-for relies upon the conflation of some fallacious and unsound arguments. Such as:
1) All prayed-for1 are died-for.
Therefore, all died-for are prayed-for.
The conclusion commits the fallacy of affirming the consequent.2
Or,
2) All in-covenant are died-for.
Therefore all died-for are(/will be) in covenant
Same fallacy of affirming the consequent.
Or,
3) All died-for will be prayed-for.
Therefore, if a man is not prayed-for, he was not died-for.
A Modus Tollens argument, formally valid but not sound. There is no evidence that all died-for will infallibly be prayed-for. This just begs the question at this point.3
Or,
4) All died-for will be in-covenant
Therefore, if a man will not be in-covenant, he was not died-for.
Another Modus Tollens argument, formally valid but not sound. There is no evidence that all died-for will infallibly be brought into the covenant. This just once again begs the question at this point.
