thanks for replying Pilgrim

For the most part i think i agree with you. I do not believe that elect infants who die possess the faith talked about in Heb 11:1 yet its seems they do possess the seed of faith or the holy spirt that 1 Jn 3:9 talks about. We can see that both John the Baptist and Jeremiah both were being sanctified by the spirt while yet still in the womb.

I'm not sure if all believers children who die in infancy are part of the elect because of Rom 9:11. But all the covenant promises seem to be made "with the fathers and their children"Acts 2:39. God will be "the God of Abraham and of his seed"Gen 7:7. Yet i do think David was sure his son was of the elect when he said "I will go to him, but he will not return to me."

As for my last question, I meant to say "The question is, by what means does God justify them?" that is if its not by faith. I agree with your comments on regeneration
