A Calvinist is ....
a person who is utterly dependent on God and knows it. In the end of all the debates it boils down to these two things ... man's utter helplessness to please God in and of himself AND man's dependence on God to do for himself what he cannot do for himself. Salvation is not God and man working together. It is God revealing to man what He has done for him and man believing it in such a way that it changes his life. Ultimately, it is all about God. Soli Deo Gloria! To God alone be the glory!
