(That verse in Romans about potter and clay isn't only found in the Calvinist Bible.)

I don't own a Calvinist Bible...

Of course the explicit words to that effect aren't there, but neither are a lot of other things ... an orthodox, detailed explanation of the Trinity, for example. It had to be deduced. "I don't see it" isn't the same thing as "it isn't in there".

Exactly...Just as Sola Scripture is in there...

However, as I said, there is nothing in the scripture that even remotely suggests that God's grace comes thru Mary...You can use a million watt searchlight and you won't find anything about that issue, other than to find that God's Grace comes from God...

You should talk to one of our fine Calvinist FReepers for advice on where to buy one.

I believe the KJV is acceptable. Even I own one of those.

That's one that I don't find. I do find verses rejecting it. I also find logic and practical experience rejecting it.

However, as I said, there is nothing in the scripture that even remotely suggests that God's grace comes thru Mary

Now you're changing the subject. If you want to see God's grace personified, His Name is Jesus. Jesus came through Mary. That ought to be in everyone's Bible.

other than to find that God's Grace comes from God

Never said it didn't. "From" and "through" are not the same word, and they don't mean the same thing.
