I didn't know that you are not comfortable with arabic/urdu.I dont know much arabic so cannot say yes or no. However, just looking through the translation on the ayats before this one, my interpretation is that these ayats refer to the wives of Muhammad SAW, as explained by somebody else in post #60.
Since we disagree with the interpretation of this ayat, maybe you can share any other ayats that is more clear cut. For eg. Tauheed is basic principle of Islam and without it entire belief system of islam collapses. There are many ayats describing tauheed in very clear terms such as Surah Ikhlas.
Given that infalliability of the ahle bait is such a central belief, I was hoping you will provide more clear cut ayat that is not open to different interpretations. Please share if you have any such clear cut evidence for infalliability of the 13 masomeen apart from Muhammad SAW.
Anyway it is a fact that in aayat 33:33 ahle bait is used in plural male form whereas previously plural female form were used for umhat almomaneen.
. . . . . .
Lets move on . . . .
Look at the word يُرِيدُ in aayat. It translate as "Allah intends to".
Now consider the aayat 85:16
فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ
Always doing whatever He wills.
.
This aayat clearly shows that Allah always do what He intends.
So it is proven that Allah's intention in aayat 33:33 is indeed carried out by Him. i.e Ahle Baite are all purified by Allah.

Any question so far? Next I will show proof about exclusion of umhat almomaneen from ahle bait.
