They cannot do anything. They simply are created in potential infinity or are there in actual infinity.

lol. Do you agree that actual infinity is infinity?

When it is convenient for him to do so, yes.
Summing all of the numbers between 50 and 150 means doing so one at a time and in order to him. This means everything is only potentially infinite to him as infinity is an ongoing yet finite process.
Actual completed infinity, to him, means both a first element and a last element must be present in the set.
