These are they not defiled with women; for they are virgins.

Perhaps, but my KJV says they are virgins, undefiled by women.
So the KJV is wrong?
They are pure from idolatry, and are presented as unspotted virgins to their Lord and Savior Christ.
The Elect are the natural born jewish decendants of Abraham.

...you belong to an idolatrous cult that worships men.
The elect are the Christians, according to the New Testament.

Other translations say committed adultery. As in gave into sin with the world, not a literal virgin.

You believe what you do because you belong to an idolatrous cult that worships men.

The cult is the one that claims God is a breaker of oaths and a liar who does not keep his word. He never broke his covenant with Abraham, nor did he break his covenant with Jacob.

If the Church and the elect are two different groups, which one do the twelve apostles belong to?

Well, each to their own, but the passage clearly refers to male virgins undefiled by women.
To deflect that on other things like sorcery seems a bit abstract, and I suppose the events of Revelation cannot really happen until Christians raise up a generation of male virgins "undefiled by women" (and women as defiling are a much repeated trope in the Bible from Genesis) instead of heterosexism at all costs.
