Calvinists also believe that if you're saved, you can't lose your salvation. How arrogant is that?

To believe that few will be saved is not to believe in the Calvinist heresy; it is simply to recognize that while salvation is theoretically open to all, only those who are worthy will be saved.

So, the Good Shepherd, who leaves ninety-nine to go after the one, wasted His time, I guess.

Why did He even bother enduring death, for a handful?

Wow. I mean, Wow! You state Calvinism is arrogant, and then proceed to say that Christ died for "only those who are worthy."

I assume you missed the part where Christ says he didn't come for the healthy / righteous. Here it is:

Mark 2:17
And hearing this, Jesus said to them, "[Matt 9:12, 13; Luke 5:31, 32] It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

While we're at it, let's throw in some Romans for good measure:

Romans 5:6-8
6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Oh, and, by the way, you should also take Christ's word for never loosing your Salvation:

John 10:27-29
27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

Just to summarize: We don't keep our salvation, God keeps it for us. And since God doesn't fail, neither will our salvation.

Depends on why they believe you can't lose it. If they believed it is because of their merit then it is arrogant. But they don't so it isn't. If they believe that salvation is based on Christ's merits, which they do. It is a very humble doctrine.
