If you took your own advice, you probably wouldn’t be a Protestant for very long.

In fact, I became a Calvinist by reading Augustine. I didn't start reading Calvin until later.

“In fact, I became a Calvinist by reading Augustine.”

The anachronistic impossibility of that statement speaks for itself.

You must have missed his rather florid prayers to Mary, as well as the passage where he says it's a sin not to adore the Eucharist.

Which leads to an odd conundrum: since (I suppose) you think he's a gross heretic on those points, why would you listen to anything he said in regard to soteriology?
