You = all of us.
Were sactified = how? Through Christ.
Remember, at the end of time hell and sin and death are consumed by god's love (lake of fire) and through the process Christ's words are fullfilled:
You SHALL love the lord your god with all your heart mind and soul. You SHALL love your neighbors as yourselves. "shall love" sounds more like prophecy.
just as many were condemned - without their choice or action - in Sin through adam, in Christ ALL shall be saved.
1 Corinthians 15:22
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
The greek use the word pas for all, pas means "the whole, entire"
so - again, if we stop worrying about this shit and spend more time learning to Love, which is God, the better we and the world around us becomes.
I've imagined that in areas of public controversy, among Christians and/or the "pagans", a Pope could just quote or cite appropriate scripture without a word of commentary.
And let folks deal with it.
At that point it's not about "what the Pope said" it's up to people whether or not they will simply be honest about what the text says or if they are going to twist into pretzels trying to make it fit their agendas

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
