“You must preach the gospel to them as if it were life or death, for it really is.”
Not if your a Calvinist... it’s really NOT life and death.
Only the elect will be saved. The elect won’t be lost.

If you’re a Christian, you mean.
Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
(Joh 6:39-40)
“But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.”
(Joh 6:64-65)
“Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.”
(Joh 10:25-30)

Incorrect. It IS REALLY life and death. The means of salvation is also pre-determined, and that is the preaching of the Word. Romans 10 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?
