Yet when Catholics say the rosary for 15 minutes a day, they can be "assured of their salvation." Any formalism that assumes you're saved because you do something - whether it's praying a specific prayer (or that generic "sinner's prayer), or any other action or attribute (e.g. intellectual assent) is in error.
One's salvation rests in God's election confirmed by endurance to the end. There is none of us 100% sure of our election, but we can be 100% confident in God's faithfulness. He'll save his people.

Of course.
You, Jude, are a good example of how thoughtful Calvinists make good Catholics. If they endure that long, that is.
