Amazing Grace,

Need we add that the Catechism is not, nor was it intended to be, an exhaustive credal document. It is after all a teaching tool for children, and it is correct insofar as it goes.

Is it any different than Peter saying Christ propiated for the sins of the whole world? Obviously, Peter is no low Calvinist or Arminian. The only point is that, if God had deigned to save all men, he would have needed no more than the death of Christ to do it. Period.
