You are the one stating that Paul meant ALL means ALL - unequivocally. Is that not what you stated?

I repeat what Paul wrote, and add this to your education:

Text, without Context is Pretext.

You wish to build a strawman, fine, follow through on your ignorance of logic. But the fact remains, that Paul states that ALL have sinned. His context is fallen humanity. Are you keeping up? The passage just prior (that means before in a linear sense) speaks of the non-Jesus people (meaning people who are NOT Jesus):

Rom 3:22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference...

The passage following (that means after in a linear sense) concludes the concept Paul is teaching:

Rom 3:24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Thus endeth the lesson.
