Both Promise.resolve() and Promise.reject() also accept non-promise thenables as arguments. When passed a non-promise thenable, these methods create a new promise that is called after the then() function.
Reason
A promise object is not a function therefore it cannot be called. If the use of the term "call" here does not refer to a function call it is still confusing since in other parts of the book the term "call" refers to function calls.
Solution
I believe the intent was to say the the new promise is settled after calling the then() function on the thenable object
So perhaps something like this:
When passed a non-promise thenable, these methods create a new promise that is settled after calling the then() method on the thenable object.
This is more in line with ECMAScript standard explanation for the inner workings of a promise object
