Jules,
When you put it that way it sort of completes a thought I have been developing in my mind. Nephi grew up from a young age having his C&E, and his brother Jacob from an even younger age did as well. It is possible they developed a society where the Church truly led people to their C&E on a regular basis. Alma's teachings point directly to achieving the C&E rather than only to repentance and baptism. Thus, it is not a big stretch of the imagination for me to think everyone who agreed with King Benjamin's words entered into the new and everlasting covenant that day. And when Alma went out to preach, it was to those who had not yet achieved their C&E as much as it was to those who no longer believed in repentance.
