After all if the Calvinists believe that the act of resurrection is a substitute for the Judgement of God, then nobody in hell gets Judged in the Calvinist universe, right?
The reprobate were judged ab initio, well, even before their initio, so there's really no need for something so redundant as a final judgment and, because of this, no need for a resurrection.

But the place of eternal fire would not have any effect upon a non-body would it? Christianity states that ALL people resurrect, not just the saved. Again, the question comes back to the line from the Creed and the words from Scripture (including Paul) which indicate that all individuals resurrect. I do not begrudge them their beliefs; it just rankles that, as in the case of the Latter Day Saints and the Jehovah's Witnesses, they redefine many of the traditional Christian terms and attempt to make them mean something else entirely.

(I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so..)
