Are these hellebore seedlings?

I found these near a hellebore plant. Are they hellebore seedlings? Only one seedling has the serrated edges. Thanks in advance for your response.

    The one with the spiky leaves might be. The others are only seed leaves and could be anything.  Separate them out into individual pots and grow on a bit.

    Thanks @fidgetbones.
    I plonked them into that pot only a few hours ago. Is it okay if I try to separate them after a few days or do I have to do that immediately, say tomorrow?

    You should do it before they grow much more. Give it a soak first and they should separate easily.  Handle by the leaves not the stems.

    Mine self seed very freely. I leave them to it until the seedlings are clearly identifiable then weed out any I don't want. Alternatively, you could pot them up or move them at that stage.
