Kritikos,
If I am not mistaken, it means "the called out ones"

The word church comes from the Greek "kyrios" which means Lord.

It is literally, "the gathering of the called out ones." Church means "the footstool of God."
Therefore, when the ekklesia gathers for the divine liturgy, the called out ones are gathered for divine work.

Well, I don't know how many. It is my understanding that it means assembly

It means the congregation itself - the people, not the building.
