So, all the "saints" you meet have made a covenant "by sactifice? [sic]"

Yes indeed they have:

And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. [Whereof] the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these [is, there is] no more offering for sin. - Hebrews 10:11-18

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. - John 3:14-15

Faith in God, is indeed a sacrifice..

Rational thinking adults do not qualify for salvation...

Matt 18- 1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked,
"Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2He called a little child and had him stand among them.
3And he said: "I tell you the truth,
unless you change and become like little children,
you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4Therefore, whoever humbles himself
like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

What then is smart?.. The jump of faith then is rational.. although a sacrifice..

Heb 10:11-18...

Look up Heb 8...whoever the author of that book is, he is saying the same thing about the "House of Israel" just two chapters before yours. Not saints, but the unbelieveing Jews.

So much for predestination and God-given faith.
