And, the usual fare continues. I correctly quote Roman Catholic beliefs in my post, whereas you just make up some contrived malarkey about Calvinism and claim that it's what Calvinists "ought" to believe -- even though we don't.
Isn't that what you believe about adults? What is it about infants that makes God decide to elect 100 per cent of them?
The Bible does not expressly state that "all" who die in infancy are regenerated in the womb; however, the only definitive examples of those Dying in Infancy provided in Scripture, are so regenerated (or sometime in early infancy; prior to their deaths, at any rate).
Ergo, the only examples in Scripture of those Dying in Infancy are uniformly Regenerate, and there's no contrary evidence of those Dying in Infancy NOT being Regenerate. So, it's a "rule of thumb" not infallibly known for certain, but based on the available Biblical evidence.
Except for those who die in infancy whom God has regenerated in the womb? Didn't you just argue that? Which is it? Are all born as "sinners against God" or are some born regenerated, but fated to die before being able to conceive of faith?
Fine. Correct my statement to read, "All infants conceived of Adam..." etc.
I'm merely trying to ascribe what seems like consistency to your beliefs. Don't you believe that God chooses some for salvation and not others? What have I said wrong?

But you did, or at least you said that Calvin did. So there is some matter of surmising going on.

Good. But this kinda shoots through your blustering about Psalm 58:3. It must not teach that all infants are sinners, or that all are not. Some may be elected to have been regenerated in the womb.
