In his Bar Mitzvah derashah, R' Chaim Brisker proved that neveilah and
tereifah were aspects of the same underlying issur. Thus explaining
(among other points I do not remember) why the Rambam holds that a
neveilah and a tereifah can be metz'tarfos to a kezayis issur.

Which would imply that WRT eating, all non-shechted meat is the same,
and the issur is the lack of shechitah, not the tum'as neveilah.
