By your interpretation, which is typically wrong, the "all men" refer to the children of Israel who were in covenant with God.Titus 2:11–14 (KJV 1900) — 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Since Saul is writing to Titus the "redeem us" again refers to the children of Israel for whom under the Law the animal sacrifice and the Lord's personal sacrifice was made for the children of Israel.
To interpret these passages and others that seem to refer to anyone other than the Elect of God in Israel is to break Scripture for NEVER as under the Law did the high priest leave Israel, go to the non-Hebrew Gentiles that surround the Jews and offer sacrifices for them. Your interpretation is not support by Scripture.
