You have no understanding of Calvinism at all.

All men are fallen and all men deserve God's wrath. God has chosen some men to redeem by the sacrifice of His Son through faith in Jesus Christ. Those people will be given new eyes and new ears and a new heart with which to understand Scripture and recognize their salvation by Christ's atonement. That understanding, given them by the Holy Spirit, will permit them to live lives that glorify His name.

The rest of mankind will receive the punishment rightly due all of us.

There will be no one in hell who has received saving grace through faith in Christ. There will be no one in hell who doesn't "deserve it." And there will be no one in heaven who does "deserve it."

Read Ephesians 1 & 2 and Romans 8 & 9. Your argument is with Scripture, not me.

At least most Protestants on these threads try to understand the RCC and use things like New Advent as a foundation for our discussions.

You, OTOH, say absurd lies as if they were true, i.e. "Humans are evil decendents of Satan."

If you want to be taken seriously (and I have my doubts) you need to start debating the real issues and stop these idiotic diatribes.

I guess what I’m missing is the selection mechanism - how it’s done and why God does it.

I still cannot resolve it against the passages of inclusivity for all men.
