Remove minor subpaths - Subtract small selections

Hello everyone,

I have an image where I selected the green screen using color range. Sometimes I have greens inside my object so they will be deleted, and I try to avoid that.

So I created a layer mask (in the same way it can be a selection).

original picture:

created a mask (isolated the background):

show the mask:

(as you see my object isn't entirely white)

I've scripted a MagicWand click on the middle of the canvas, because my subject is almost always in the middle.

so right now I'm here:

How do I make all the small selections inside it merge into one? (I thought of a script that finds all the subpaths inside a selection and then removes them)

Any help will be much appreciated
