Calvinist Doctrine of Justification can be stated fairly simply
Justification comes by faith alone (in Christ) by (God’s) Grace alone.

Here it is read forwards:

Justification comes by (God’s) grace alone by faith (in Christ)alone.

Sincere questions from a Catholic.

How (from a Calvinist perspective) can a person have faith if faith is predestined? Doesn't faith imply some kind of assent, and by implication free will? Is faith still faith without freedom? i.e. analogous to, is love still love without freedom, or does a slave ordered to love his master, and who obeys, truly expressing love to his master?

As a Calvinist, should one evangelize to someone who is not one of the 'elect'? How do you tell the difference between the two?
