Then I stand corrected. Do all Calvinists believe they are of the elect going to heaven?

Most would believe they have personal assurance of their salvation, which would logically then mean they are of the elect. While they may be reasonably encouraged to believe so, they cannot have assurance of anyone's salvation but their own.

So not one single Calvinist has ever fallen away from their faith? That is difficult to believe.
