A moderate Calvinist might say that the fact of Person A's faithfulness in planting the seeds and praying for the salvation of person "B" may have been seriously taken into consideration by God in the ultimate decision as to whether or not to provide irresistible Grace resulting in the election of person "B".

IOW God foresaw the faithfulness of A in planting the seeds and praying for B and because of the faithfulness of A, he chose B.

A Moderate Calvinist might say that.

You're still trying to invent a way for human will to alter God's plan. Why was A faithful in the first place?

"A Moderate Calvinist might say that."
