I think our Raymond Reddington is the real, original one. But he was also Ilya too. He had two identity-changing surgeries. One that created Ilya Koslov when he "died" as his real self/the real Raymond Reddington and one that brought back Raymond Reddington from the dead to help Katarina. Once the latter happened, he decided to stay as his real self instead of going back to being Ilya Koslov. As for what Dominic told Elizabeth about the real Raymond being saved by both Katarina and Ilya only to die, contradicting my theory, it's possible that he's telling what he believes to be the truth but was actually a lie by whoever told him that, likely our Raymond.
