There are many many reasons why this is not true, but perhaps the simplest too see is that their underlying sets are not the same, since one is countable and one is not.

How would you even want to make sense of the limit?

I'm just trying to intuitively understand what happens for large p.

Intuitively nothing happens. But it might be interesting for you to google for the field of $p$-adic numbers, $Bbb{Q}_p$. There people sometimes speak of $Bbb{R}$ as the $p$-adic field for the "infinite" prime.
