I am puzzled by this distinction.

When you load elisp.lisp into your CL, you can

* load ELisp files, e.g.,
>>> (el::load "backquote")
>>> (el::load "calendar")
>>> (el::load "cal-hebrew")
>>> (el::load "subr")
>>> (el::load "help")

* Compile them:
>>> (cllib::compile-el-file "backquote")
>>> (cllib::compile-el-file "calendar")
>>> (cllib::compile-el-file "cal-hebrew")

* Run ELisp code:
>>> (el::calendar-hebrew-date-string)

I am not sure what if missing.
