They also have to be named on the pardon - individually - to be pardoned. You don’t pardon a group or class. You pardon a person. “Person” is a legal term.

Not correct. Andrew Johnson and Jimmy Carter come to mind. The definition of Presidential amnesty is pardon applied to a group of people not individually named.
