The leaves of your seedlings look closer to this than Citron leaves ??
Also, the seed in the fruit you uploaded don't really look like Citron seed to me. They seem rather big, more like Sour Orange seed ?
Thinking that the Amalfi Citron is possibly a Citron / Sour Orange hybrid ?

The fruit does look like this Amalfi Citron from Agrumi Lenzi. As for the leaves' shape, they are closer to my seedlings than those of common citrus medica (rounded leaves just like your tree). It could be yes. If you look at the picture of all the seedlings in the pot, you can see that the one in the middle has a rather intriguing leaf shape: long and straight-winged petiole, which is uncommon to see, I think.
Here is a closer look at this weird seedling:
Here is another seedling (one of two) I potted apart from others due to the Mandarine/Clementine-shaped leaves:

Sorry to intervene here, but since your are in Québec, you are aware that in French citron means a lemon. Are you sure that what you bought is not just an Amalfi cost lemon?

Ilya,
Yes, I am sure since the label said "Cédrat de la Côte d'Amalfi" for this fruit. I also bought (later) both the small Amalfi Lemon (probably Sorrento) and the large Sfusato. I am growing all three varieties from seed. Of course, I know that the Citron won't be a clone of the mother tree, but now It seems that I might have interesting hybrid seedlings. I wasn't able to have poly seeds from the Sorrento, but was able to have a couple of poly seeds from the Sfusato.

In Italy, at least listed in the nurseries grows also so called CitrusXlimonimedica that is believed to be a cross between citron and lemon
