Your comments are fine for high calvinists like Beza where the atonement is strictly limited only to the elect, but there are many moderate calvinists who they wouldn’t apply to, who would agree Christ dies for all.
The difference isnt that calvinists (I almost said “we calvinists”) go beyond scripture and Lutherans play it close, or in sovereignty, the difference is in the primary view of salvation is from 1 Peter 1:2, with each person of the trinity acting (or giving) immediately, that is, without a mediator. The Father elects, the Spirit regenerates, and the Son died on the cross. Thats why the calvinists told you they are cross centered, because when it comes to Christ, they are.
You (we?) believe in contrast that Christ has the highest position, and both regeneration and election are found in Him. I think. I’m still trying to work this out this new position out even though Adam welcomed me into it semi-formally.
