Explain then how God is just in commanding the infanticide of innocent babies.

That's a problem Calvinism has to answer. I think it goes with how God is just in creating innocent babies born reprobate - doomed as well.

The Westminster Confession does not presume to know the election status of anyone. All anyone can know is their election status.

Catholics have this entirely backwards IMO. They presume to know the election status of babies and people who have died, yet they don't know their own election status.

I wonder if Peter or Paul thought that they were saved while on earth?

I think that it is a logical extension of the self-determined elitism movement. If I am of the elite, so the logic might run, and the majority of people aren’t, and babies cannot be baptized because they are, well, babies, then dead babies go right to everlasting hellfire because God is just.
