I don’t think that was exactly what Paul meant.
He was pointing out that those that are not of a mind to respect the sabbath would not be likely to change their mind, so it was a waste of time, and a source of unneeded division.
The sabbaths are important to “the wise virgin,” and the readyness for Yeshua’s return, but not all members of any particular congregation are wise virgins.

Again, can you point me to where Paul actually uses the word “Sabbath” in Romans 14 as to prove that Paul was actually speaking of the 4th Commandment and not to when a person fasts and when a person does not fast as Paul was well aware of the fact that the Sabbath was never a day for fasting and to do and teach such a thing, Paul would have been teaching and preaching against the Word of God.
