Does infinity necessarily need to include ALL real numbers?

In other words, could you say that there is an infinite set of real numbers that are NOT a particular real number x – hence “infinity” does not necessarily need to contain all real numbers?

0, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, etc.

You can keep going on for forever, and you will always be bounded between 0 & 0.1.

0, 0.01, 0.0001, 0.000001, 0.00000001, etc.

The above still goes on forever, but it skips 1 decimal place every time, so it’ll include every number from the first list, but only ~1/2 from the first list will appear in this list, yet both are infinite.
