More projections. It is you who said this:
"
Rom. 5 is solely about the "elect","

Now I am asking you based on YOUR reading of the text. I will ask again, if you believe that Romans 5 is
solely about the elect as YOU SAID, how can it be so that Paul is telling them that they are the only ones (the MANY) that are made sinners by Adam?
Romans 5 is solely about the elect.
Nothing in Rom. 5 is making ANY statements, pro- or con-, about the non-elect.
Romans 5 does NOT say that "only the elect" have sinned.
Romans 3 ALREADY says that ALL have sinned (even though you don't believe that).
Romans 5 isn't about the non-elect, so it is not making any statement about the non-elect.
However, we ALREADY KNOW from Rom. 3 that all the non-elect has sinned, as well.
That's not relevant to Rom. 5, since it is not talking about the non-elect, only the elect.
Rom. 5 is NOT saying, "only the elect are sinners".
Rom. 5 is specifically about the elated and saying that they ARE sinners.
It it not making any statement about the non-elect.
Your interpretation is ridiculous, and let me provide an analogy to show you why.
Suppose you're reading a book on the Dallas Cowboys.
And the book says that the Dallas Cowboys are football players.
And then you conclude that the Buffalo Bills aren't football players.
And I say, what are you talking about?
And you say, well, this book says ONLY the Dallas Cowboys are football players.
And I say, no, it never said that.
That book isn't ABOUT the Bills, it's ONLY about the Cowboys.
And just because the book is ONLY about the Cowboys, doesn't mean that ONLY the Cowboys are football players.
And likewise, just because Rom. 5 is ONLY about the elect, doesn't mean that ONLY the elect are sinners.
