DFC, I agree with you that the FI Rating test can be used to revalidate the SEP, as a substitute for the "training flight".
However, in your last three (
diminutive) paragraphs, you appear to be confusing two separate cases. "Revalidation" occurs prior to expiry and requires a "Training Flight", for which there is no defined content (and is emphatically not a test), whereas "Renewal" takes place after expiry and requires a test which has, as you correctly say, a navigation element.
As this thread question relates to "Revalidation", your last three paragraphs about combining the "two tests" would seem totally irrelevant to the original question.
... and
redout, when you ask ...

... note that the Skill Test (Training Flight) can take place any time during the
12 months preceding the SEP expiry and still count - it is the signing-up of the SEP revalidation that has to take place within the last 3 months - not the actual Training Flight.
