Catholics do not accept the premise in Predestination.

Wrong. Catholics most certainly do believe in predestination. God exists outside of time and can see the past and future all at once. At the same time, He limits His omnipotence to allow angels and humans to exercise free will. Does St. Augustine question the doctrine of free will?

I've posted a Treatise on the Predestination of the Saints by Augustine several times now. Didn't you read it? According to Augustine, that is Pelagius' error.

From Augustine....

We did not choose God so that we may be a holy nation. We are chosen by God to BE a holy nation.
