"And it shall come to pass that everyone whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

[Act 2:21 NASB] 21 'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE[G3956] WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'
[G3956]
1. masculine and feminine every one, any one: in the singular, without any addition, Mark 9:49; Luke 16:16; Hebrews 2:9; followed by a relative pronoun, πᾶς ὅστις, Matthew 7:24; Matthew 10:32; πᾶς ὅς, Matthew 19:29 (L T Tr WH ὅστις); Galatians 3:10; πᾶς ὅς ἄν (ἐάν Tr WH), whosoever, Acts 2:21; πᾶς ἐξ ὑμῶν ὅς, Luke 14:33;
[Mat 7:24 NASB] 24 "Therefore everyone[G3956] who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
[Mat 10:32 NASB] 32 "Therefore everyone[G3956] who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.

[Luk 16:16 NASB] 16 "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone[G3956] is forcing his way into it.
[Heb 2:9 NASB] 9 But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.[G3956]
[Gal 3:10 NASB] 10 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE[G3956] WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL[G3956] THINGS[G3956] WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM."
Interesting that the 'everyone' in Acts 2:21 is closely related to the use of the same word in Galatians 3:10 and Luke 14:33.
I am interested to know, who told you that the Greek adjective, πᾶς is "masculine and feminine? It is actually just masculine. The feminine is, πᾶσα, and the neuter is, πᾶν. However, like the noun ἄνθρωπος, which is also masculine in gender, is "generic" and used to include both sexes.
