That's just semantics though. That's exactly what I meant. No separation of RAM and storage.

I called it RAM-less, rather than all-RAM, because we already have the concept of virtual RAM on storage. So you could have your files in a file structure and your volatile memory in a virtual RAM file. And you wouldn't necessarily even need to load files or programs into virtual RAM if you were only reading them, you could have a strict file pointer.
