Exactly. The type who believe that if the most evil people who ever lived (Hitler, Stalin, etc.) EVER uttered the phrase, "Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Savior," they are saved and NONE of their actions could jeopardize their salvation. Conversely, if somelike Mother Teresa never uttered the phrase, they are damned.

People are damned for their sin.

I just thought I would clear this up as well, Calvinists do not believe in "once saved always saved", we believe in the preservation of the Saints..

Just as we do not save ourself we can never keep ourselves.. Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith
