His death either finished paying the price or not and if not we are all lost forever.
Christ's sacrifice was necessary to repair the union of God and man -- to open the door to heaven, to give us the chance to accept God's grace because it is God's grace that saves us.

Before Christ, the relationship between man and God was wounded, impaired. The dead Jews lay in wait for the Messiah to come and open the gates of Heaven. Just like the curtain to the Holy of Holies was torn open, the gates of heaven were made open to man and to enable man to bask in God’s grace and glow.

Again the question isn't answered.
Has Christ paid for all the sins of His flock or not?

Yes indeed Cronos,.... Christ did redeem us from the wall of sin which seperated us from a Holy God.
The “accuser of the brethern” would have us think otherwise, as if pointing to our sins before our Holy God,... but then Jesus steps into that gap and wall of seperation saying, “Excuse me Father but I paid for that.”... and we can know the full meaning of forgiveness as God now sees us thru the righteousness of His Son Christ Jesus.
“Grace”..that would save a wretch like me.” Comes to mind...
