Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe in the Calvinist view the good news is you were born with a free ticket to heaven, sin all the away, no matter what.
The elect are not born regenerated and Will believe when the Gospel is presented. Paul addresses antinomianism in Rom 6 and various other places. Those who "sin all the way", prove they are not Christians.

And there will be no cases where that doesn't happen, correct? IOW, from the womb they have a ticket to heaven, everyone else a ticket to hell.

So if they don't stop sinning, ipso factso, they're not elect? I would guess it's more a matter of degree. Is there some general guideline on this? Or is it so long as they are contrite; IOW is everyone who is regrets their sin, elect?
Is everyone who thinks they're elect, elect, or could they be wrong?
Oooh, so you mean to tell me that "real" Christians at some point become sinless in this lifetime?
Sure sounds like a subtle way of preaching a works-based salvation.
Where do you draw the line? What is 'not all the way' that gives evidence that one is a Christian?
