How do you know these are the same people the Radbaz referred to? You don’t. Especially since in the 500 years since then these people (who today claim to be Jewish), prior to moving to Israel, had been practicing a form of Christianity and had been intermarrying the local population. So even if we assume that many of them were descendant from those people 500 years ago, in the subsequent centuries they have been intermarrying and practicing avoda zora.
