But doesn't it presume to know that God creates innocent babies - born and forever - reprobate?

No, the confession gives us no idea since it is impossible to know the mind of God.

It seems to say so there in IV - “Others...”?

Well, that's certainly true considering the OT verse "My thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your ways..." but then +Paul throws in the curve ball "But we have the mind of Christ!" [1 Cor 2:16]

On top of thet every Protestant claims the "indwelling [Holy] Spirit" (a phrase I can't for the life of me find in the Bible!) we know the mind of God!

And then comes HD and says "it is impossible to know the mind of God."
