Allies in what war? The Christian faith? Conservative politics?
If you believe that the gospel of Roman Catholicism is the gospel of the Bible, then you ought to be a Roman Catholic. They were here first, after all. (No offense to the Orthodox.)
Frankly, I'm surprised that Reformed protestants even care. God can choose to elect anyone He chooses - even the Pope.
If you think this is about God's secret sovereign election (decretive will), then you do not understand reformed theology.

The war against Christianity in general not a war for the Christian faith.
The war against those who want to convert, enslave or kill us.
I’m sure you’re not saying that the Catholics are not willing to stand with other Christians in this fight or that you don’t want us on your side.
what do you mean by *here*?
Obviously.

I believe that Roman Catholics have far more in common with Protestants than either of us have with Islam, Hinduism, Taoism, etc. I believe they've gotten some things wrong over the years, which is why I'm not a Catholic -- but I see no need to scream at them about it. I think Britain's system of a parliamentary democracy with a figurehead monarch is stupid... but I don't waste time trying to convince them to adopt our Constitution.

God told Moses that He chooses to be gracious to whom He chooses to be gracious. I personally won't presume to inform Him as to whom He can and can't offer grace.
