And most of those are on the debate between election and free will. That does not qualify as *wildly divergent*. It’s a disagreement of interpretation on something that is not critical to salvation.
And in either case, both groups agree that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
And even if Calvin believed that Christ suffered in hell, that doesn’t damn him. As long as he’s trusting in Christ alone for his salvation, he’s OK.
