It is "Fab Five", they called themselves "Fab Five", Natalie was not just an affiliate, they discussed the plans with her. I'm sure Missy talked to Jon about working with her after the merge. After Jeremy's blidside they all agreed to stay together until the F5. And there's that thing of Jaclyn and Baylor sacrificing themselves so Missy, Jon and Natalie would be the F3.

This part is I guess one thing that puts the "Natalie as part of the core" thing to be used, but at the same time, were they really going to agree about that? It was only Jon's side though and it was unaired, but if there are other sources that the whole alliance agreed to it, then I guess you have a point. That being said, the probably didn't talk about this move with Natalie -- I am pretty sure they left out Natalie because a game move that only benefits the four (they would think Natalie is the goat in their scenario as they would expect either lone pair to get those votes) won't be told to the fifth.

P.S. Could you site some episode quotes that said "Fab Five"? I personally can't see that Missy told Jon to work with Natalie that also excludes Jeremy. Jon and Jaclyn (at least on edit) didn't trust Missy enough during the supposed Jeremy blindside to get them involved with it and at least if we are talking about post-game interviews, it seems Missy only thought about voting out Jeremy after Jon brought the idea during that one confessional. About sticking to F5: you could still be technically an affiliate even if there is a pact that was done, but usually they end up in the bottom of the alliance and voted out next, or usually used as goats intstead.
