I thought Calvinism taught the elect/reprobate were thus from birth?

Man's name is written in the book of life before the foundations of the world. God's plan has been set forth. Is that what your talking about?

Man is not saved until God gives him faith and he repents, turning to God.

But that the Reprobate will not be saved is true from their birth. Nothing can change their Reprobate status - born and forever Reprobate. Further there is no difference in the guilt or innocence between them or the Elect.

Would these be correct statements in the Calvinist view?
