Calvinists would be Baptists holding to the 5 doctrines of Grace, while Reformed Baptist also hold to Confession of Faith such as 1689, and to Covenant Theology, minus the infant baptism

Surely there are plenty of Calvinists who are not Baptists?
Yes, they would be called reformed in the traditional sense of the term
I think the problem comes in when people accept the two natures part but reject the "inseparable" part (they hold a neo-orthodox view....Jesus "did this in His humanity", "did that in His divinity" type of heresy).
Deleting "inseparable" is just as much an error as deleting "without mixture". The former is "Christ in two persons" while the latter has Christ less than God and more than man (a hybrid).
What about the 1st Doctrine of Grace?
I ask because viewing children as being elect based on their parents status seems to be against what most Baptists who call them Calvinists believe.
Maybe it would be better for Baptists not to use "Calvinism" "Reformed", "doctrines of grace", or the "five points" since they (most?) really hold a superficial summary of the "Five Points" as expressed in orthodox Calvinism.
