regardless of your useless reasoning, the fact remains in the Bible, that Jesus Christ thought it right that Judas was present for the taking of the bread and wine, which represents Jesus' body and blood. And was also told by Jesus, that His death on the cross was for him! Accept what the Bible says without your personal theology!

I fully agree with Calvin here. 'For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.' (Romans 10:13). But, as I pointed out in my post #66, and as Romans 3:11 points out, no one seeks for God and therefore no one will call upon His name, unless God draws him (John 6:44).
I think it will be helpful for you to read more of Calvin because then you will understand what Calvinism (which actually predates Calvin) actually is. At present you seem to have a rather wretched caricature of it in your mind.

It is very clear from Calvin's comments on John 3:16, that he says that the "whoever" is not to be restricted to "the elect", but is for "everyone without exception", which is the same as saying, "every human being". If he says something else in his other works, then it is clear that he was a confused person!

Not the point, you cannot get away from the fact that Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, gave Judas the bread and wine, which represents His Body and Blood on the cross, and also tells Judas, ""This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for YOU". Unless you think that Jesus was mistaken, or not being honest!
