Definitely non calvinists always confuse the us, you in scripture.
for example v8, they will include all of humanity when thie promises in this chapter is only for those who have had this done for them,
" the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
Romans 5
Not all of God's enemies were reconciled to Christ by the death of His Son, since obviously not all are saved by His life. The 'we were enemies ' is referring to those who have been justified by faith in Jesus.
When they corporately include all humans, they misrepresent what the Holy Spirit actually teaches.

Faith Triumphs in Trouble
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have[a] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Christ in Our Place
6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
