Another issue is that a Calvinist can say that Christ died for all of the human race, or the entire world. But it would be in a biblical context. What we would mean by that would be that He died for all races, all nations, etc...and not only for Israel. The Bible reveals God's salvation through a man (Abraham), a family (Isaac), a nation (Jacob/Israel), and finally the entire world in Christ.
