Unless it was an accident, I don't think it's fair that you left off the last sentence of his quote that basically disproves your whole point. Any real Calvinist (including myself) would uphold the 5 points, especially perseverance of the saints. In fact all legitimate Reformed denominations hold to perseverance of the saints and even among the huge field of baptistic evangelicals you will be hard pressed to find Christians who believe one can lose their salvation. The above quote about apostasy is dead on accurate.

I will not speak for the man in question but I believe many (most?) Calvinists would say that if the 10 year old Jewish boy you described would be counted among the un-elect. If you had said a pre-born baby or an infant, the answers start changing quickly but it's still a large disagreement. Many Christians, the Reformed included believe that all infants are elect.
I can't beat your math challenge so feel free to ignore everything I just said.lol
