SUNERGEI, what kind of verb is it

Romans 8:28a

OIDAMEN DE hOTI TOIS AGAPWSI TON QEON PANTA SUNERGEI EIS AGAQON...


According to Schreiner, Ross, Moo, and Fitzmyer, SUNERGEI is an intransitive
verb. Yet, according to Wallace, it is either
intransitive or transitive.

How does one decide whether or not a verb is transitive, intransitive,
or either?

Schreiner indicates that although SUNERGEI is without a doubt
intransitive, PANTA could function as an Accusative of Respect
(while allowing for an implied hO QEOS to be subject).
How does an Acc. of Respect differ from a Direct Object in Greek?

Thanks
