Calvinism insists that the saving operations of God are directed in every case immediately to the individuals who are saved. Particularism in the process of salvation becomes thus the mark of Calvinism. As supernaturalism is the mark of Christianity at large, and evangelicalism is the mark of Protestantism, so particularism is the mark of Calvinism. The Calvinist is he who holds with full consciousness that Go the Lord, in his saving operations, deals not generally with mankind at large, but particularly with the individuals who are actually saved.
