Calvinism
Calvinism, which is also called the Reform Tradition, is one of the major and oldest branches of Protestantism and formed primarily in opposition to both the Catholic Church and the Rise of Lutheranism, composing many different Protestant sects. Calvinism primarily stems from the teachings of John Calvin. One of the distinctive teachings of Calvinism is the concept of Predestination, meaning that God has already chosen those who will go to Heaven or Hell and that there is no free will for a person to change their fate through works.

Martin Luther opposed the Church because he felt he wasn't going to get saved by them. he thought the Catholic way of things was not going to get him into heaven. He said that you needed faith in the risen lord to get there and that good deeds alone will get you there. So Luther started the protestant reformation

Catholic AnswerMartin Luther protested the Catholic Church because the Church insisted on proclaiming the teaching of Our Blessed Lord and Savior, and Martin Luther was unable to abide with either the moral teaching of the Church or with his vows - which he had taken voluntarily after years of careful reflection. When the Church wouldn't change its teaching to accommodate Luther's lifestyle, he rewrote and edited the Bible, and started his own "church". John Calvin was a generation later, and was a French scholar in contrast to Martin Luther, who was a German peasant. I am putting links for both of them below:Was john Calvin a protestant or a puritan?
John Calvin was definitely not a Puritan. Puritans desired to reform the Anglican Church (Church of England) without splitting from it. They are identical to Separatists in England, except for Separatists desired to separate from the Anglican Church. Both Reformation churches saw a need to cleanse the Anglican Church of its Catholic influence. The Anglican Church was initially created as a governmental reform, that lacked any real substantive theological reform.
Calvin sought to break with the Catholic Church despite his early ecclesiastical support from the Catholic Church. Calvin was born in Noyon, France, and after education and several moves, conducted most of his work in Geneva, Switzerland. His ire against the Catholic Church was significant, like the Puritans; however, his theology was significantly different. He believed in paedobaptism and consubstantiation, which are both quite different from Puritanical theology.
Both Puritans and Protestants seek the Gospel, and both have a variety of sects within each group. While there are quite a few similarities, John Calvin's theology is much closer to Luther's and Zwingli's than to any of the notable English reformers.

What was the role of Calvinism in France during the Renaissance?
The Renaissance began long before Calvinism existed. A form of Protestantism dating back to Wycliffe emphasizing Bible reading existed in France during the Renaissance. A man named Hugo had a monastery and trained followers in Wycliffe's teaching. His followers called Huguenots, went out from that monastery spreading Bibles bringing them to the people. Wycliffe's movement, while Protestant, stayed in the Roman Catholic Church. It differed it that it gave the Bible to the people, it opposed transubstantiation, and it taught justification by faith. In other respects, it remained Roman Catholic.
As a result during the Renaissance, French Roman Catholicism was a much softer form of the faith than it was in other countries. The abuses by the church in Spain or Germany were impossible in France. That did not stop abuses by the government as in the case of the Cathari and other groups.
After Luther rose to prominence France briefly became Protestant. Then Charles V became Emperor and France again became Roman Catholic. At that point Protestant influence began declining. At that point Calvin began writing in Geneva. Many Protestants remained in France.
What did the puritains or calvinists refer to themselves as?
When Calvinism first took off, those who believed in Calvinism were dubbed "Followers of Calvin", which later then just called " the belief of Calvinism".
