Does one regard the Regulative Principle - only that which is explicitly commanded in scripture, or is required as essential to acts explicitly commanded, or is indifferent and common to all human gatherings for the sake of order, is allowed in the public worship of God - as a hallmark of a Reformed Church? of Calvinism?

You will find that there are different views on the actual definition of "The Regulative Principle". What sets the Reformed Faith/Calvinism apart from all others is their insistance that unless something is explicitly commanded OR by "good and necessary consequence", it is disallowed. This is in contrast to those who hold that unless something is explicitly forbidden, it is allowed.
