The term ‘invitation’ is a term intended to apply to two dimensions of the same reality: 1) in one sense it is intended to define a period in the conversation where it appropriate to offer an invitation (yet to be defined) to repent - turn from self to God - and embrace a grace-motivated life of following Jesus Christ; 2) and in another sense it is intended to define a period in the conversation where the person who does repent and embrace a life of following Christ begins (and understands they are beginning) their new life in Christ with the intention of being a follower for the rest of their life.
