So is that piece of scripture telling us that Gabriel - the angel of the Annunciation - was a fallen angel?
After all the scripture says “all have sinned.” It doesn’t say “all but Gabriel have sinned”.
Using the Bible in an arid and reductive manner quickly leads you into absurdities.
Arguing in the absurd.
Scripture is aimed at men, not at the Heavenly beings.
That is sort of silly, IMO.
Gabriel was not human. Gabriel was an angel.

This comment is quite revealing of Roman Catholic unfamiliarity with the scripture. Paul introduces that statement saying “Are we better than they? God forbid, for both Jews and Gentiles are under sin, as it is written...” And then he goes into statements that there are none who are righteous, etc. IOW, the topic is on mankind, not on God or the angels. Just as Christ says in another place, “There are none good, but one, that is, God.”
“Using the Bible in an arid and reductive manner quickly leads you into absurdities.”
Being ignorant of the scripture quickly leads into absurdities, as we see here.
