In order for Calvinism to make any sense at all it is important that the doctrine is explicated with precise, well-defined terms and exacting and rigorous logic.

The saints that Catholics revere, when given reverence in the correct way, are not revered in any way like what the pagan deities were revered or idolized.

If you're going to demand high rigor to support your particular viewpoint, then you should give the same consideration to opposing viewpoints as well.

“The saints that Catholics revere, when given reverence in the correct way, are not revered in any way like what the pagan deities were revered or idolized.”

I wouldn’t say “in any way like” but your point is I think valid. The Saint reverence is a step up from pure paganism.

There are always growing pains in any body.
