      … that would substantially change the meaning, away from what the OP themself indicated they meant to convey.

      That also would not be a usage of the Oxford comma, as that comma would be doing a different grammatical job than deliniating items in a list.

      It would be deliniating a vocative phrase.

      Yes, it does… make it into a workable sentence … but it would not be an Oxford comma.
