Yes. As even a cursory reading of the history of the era will testify, Arminius was a Calvinist who never left and was never kicked out. He wrote glowingly of Calvin and recommended Calvin's Commentaries above all other writings save the bible.

Therefore, I am a calvinist in the tradition of Arminius.

After your cursory read, go back and do a little checking on his explitic disagreement with the Reformed university at which he was employed, the Dutch Reformed church, and the Belgic Confession.

He may have been an admirer of Calvin's work, but he disagreed sharply with some main theological points of Calvinism.

Poor fellow. Maybe his corpus collasum was split.

Yes, and he rejected just about everything Calvin wrote. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

And I (and many) of the Protestants that post here were RC ...and still have a standing in that church even though we rebuke some of its teachings.

Wesley lived and died and was buried as an Anglican priest with out a church or a pulpit there.
