Christians believe in mercy.

Yes, they do. And a merciful God.

However, that's not the conclusion resulting from Calvinist theology.

Calvinists believe ONLY in mercy. Without mercy, every one of our good works would condemn us because anything not of faith is sin, and faith is a free, unmerited gift from God by His mercy alone and not in payment for services rendered to Him.

Read your Bible.
