Remember, The Westminster Confession of Faith is THE guiding document of Calvinism. (Even above Scripture, some would argue. 😏 )
With that in mind, check out what Westminster says about infants:
"Elect infants, dying in infancy, are regenerated, and saved by Christ, through the Spirit, who works when, and where, and how He pleases: so also are all other elect persons who are incapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the Word."
In other words, just like the rest of the population, some among infants belong to the elect, and many are among the non-elect. Elect babies who are aborted or stillborn are saved by Christ and gain eternal life.
BUT what about the non-elect infants?
They go on to eternal conscious torment.
Seems like kind of a raw deal to me.
(Fortunately, you do not find this teaching in Scripture - so don't feel guilty if you don't agree with Westminster.)
