The "reformers" are "Calvinists". The "reformers" get their names from the Protestant Reformation, and are Augustinian predestinarians. John Calvin produced the most comprehensive documentation of the theology of the Reformation, his Institutes of the Christian Religion. Thus, those holding to this reformed theology are commonly referred to as Calvinists.

You were quick earlier to state that hardly anyone holds to these beliefs today. On what did you base this, seeing as you aren't even sure what the terminology represents?

While I am in agreement with others here who have stated that it is not important to be in the majority in order to be correct (Jesus said that only a few would find the narrow way), you might be surprised that there is a huge following of these doctrines during our time, with a return to these tenets being seen in many places.

What doctrines? What places? What is the central, specific disagreement?
