A true Christian could find salvation from nothing more than the Synoptic Gospels, a Calvinist could not, but would argue that salvation could be achieved exclusively from the letters of Paul.

Very good. Calvinists preach the gospel of snippets of Paul and abbreviated Isaiah. Catholics preach the Gospel of Christ. This warped Order of Worship (adapted freely by the Presbyterian knockoff cults, numbering less than 5% of all former Calvinist sects in the United States and falling), is used as a substitute for the Gospels. Catholicism, of course, concentrates on the Gospels as the pearls from the mouth of God. Calvinists rely on snippets of Paul and Isaiah as a substitute for God - and they wish to be taken seriously?

Matthew 7: 15 9 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So by their fruits you will know them. 21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, 10 but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?' 23 Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. 11 Depart from me, you evildoers.' 24 12 "Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. 25 The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. 26 And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand. 27 The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined."

The house of Calvin is collapsing and we shall witness its ruination.

"The house of Calvin is collapsing and we shall witness its ruination."

It is more analogous to a duck flying in an ever decreasing radius circle until it disappears up its....well, you know where.
