2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

When it comes to beast(s), God it seems, depending on context could also have in view the Body of Christ prior to the separation. Elect are said NOT to have worshipped the beast because eventually, in Christ, they come out of the unclean. But because they touched the unclean in tribulation, God seemed to view them also in a spiritually unclean BODY.
