Relativistic mass: real mass or mathematical concept

Interestingly experimental results seem to indicate that the
gravitating mass is the rest mass of the gravitating body. shrug
Rather
Gravitational mass
= Inertial mass
= total body mass
= rest / invariant body mass for body in the rest.
Gravitational mass drops out in the geodesic equations. However,
Koobee Wublee was talking about gravitating mass not gravitational
mass. Does Poutnik understand what Koobee Wublee means by gravitating
mass? shrug
Sorry, it was not distinguishable from a typo.
