Does the concept of Rajat mean that all the people who were born after Imam Hassan Askari (a) will get revived or only those people who have died just before Imam Mahdi's re-appearance?

Some narrations about the raj'ah specifically mention the return of people from ancient times. Of course, not all narrations about the raj'ah are correct, and maybe those are not correct, but, at least, from what we have, it seems that the raj'ah will include people from all times and not only the time after certain Imams.
However, according to narrations, not all people return in the raj'ah. Only those who have the highest level of faith and highest level of depravity will be brought back to life.
