Salvation is according to the will of God

You cant separate that which .is joined together Where God is propitiated He is merciful and forgiving of their sins and unrighteousness. So the whole world of 1 Jn 2:2 is covered by this blessing, in fact its the New Covenant world. So when unlearned folk state that 1 Jn 2:2 is all humanity its a false teaching, all mankind isnt covered by this New Covenant blessing.
Please show me where John says “new covenant world”; all I see is ὅλου τοῦ κόσμου, which is literally “all the world”. Moreover, “all the world” is contrasted with “and not only ours”, which means “all the world” cannot refer to believers, which “ours” means.

There is no distinct designation that qualifies “all the world” as all the covenant world. The syntax does not allow that!

You must be careful with any dictionary of Biblical Greek and Hebrew as you must be careful of any translation from the Greek and Hebrew. Dictionaries, just like translations can exhibit the theological biases of the authors. It like Strong's dictionaries, but it is not above some biases. Dictionaries like translations should be compared in any discussions where the meaning of scripture is being studied.
Well I don’t disagree with you, but Strong is a source cited by all scholars, regardless of their views.

Christ died a new covenant death as surety Matt 26:28

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Now was this also when He shed His Blood Jn 12:32

32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
