Te great fallacy of Predestination is the notion that we are simply carried along in our lives toward a destination regardless of our choices and actions, that our free will isn't free at all. God predestines no one to hell; that requires a willful turning away from God and persistence in it until the end.

We are at the mercy of a merciful God who wishes no one to perish:

The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9

See #19. Your RC theology is neither biblical nor logical.
