The sacrifice was efficacious for any sinner who would ever seek forgiveness. The point is that you cannot forgive someone before they ask for it. You can only be ready to provide it as soon as they ask. THAT is what happened when Christ called for forgiveness.

But you can forgive people who never ask.
