The Spanish did not necessarily want all the English to be Catholic, but anyone who was considered a part of their nation were to be Catholic. This is because Ferdinand and Isabella wanted full unity under their two separate nations, and they thought having the same religion would help to unify them since they saw all the turmoil in the other European countries. This is why they started the Inquisition.
