To me the difference is that Catholicism, for as fucked up as it had been, had a "good works" expectation and the saints, while gamified "winners," were nonetheless "good works" champions, and even tied to specific deeds for why they were sainted.

Calvinism on the other hand metagames the entire idea of salvation so much that the "elect" are just richer than the rabble and they are divinely favored because everything is according to divine plan and no mistakes can be possibly made. There are no "saints," only rich assholes that are comforted as a reward for being comfortable.
