Granting that resurrected Lazarus stands in for every born-again believer, whom do Martha and Mary, his two sisters, represent?

Jesus chided Martha for her unhealthy focus on works, and presumably she desisted: she represents completed Jews.

Jesus praised Mary for her grace-full focus on Jesus: she represents born-again Gentiles.

Both welcome Lazarus to new life.
