I incline more toward the idioms of Scotus & Peirce but ---
If I had to stipulate to a hard Thomist position & such as might include, for example, a Báñezian praemotio physica, that's okay, I reckon. For, if Crisp's deviant Calvinism obtains, then, even way more efficiently (see what I'm doing there?) would the double predestination of a deviant Thomism implicate universalism, for me.
If stipulating to a softer Thomist position (Maritain or Lonergan), then, for me, predestination would refer only to elections to higher degrees of intimacy (& not to an avoidance of eternal perdition).
