I was raised Calvinist (Southern Baptist), switched to Wesleyan (1st Church of the Nazarene) and actually studied the works of John Calvin, though it's been a hot minute. I actually agree with the grandparent comment. Ayn Rand-esque "salvation of the rich" may not be the front-and-center theme of his work, but it's definitely the implementation; this is how it's been interpreted by Calvinist church leaders century after century. Generally I think it goes doctrine of inerrancy (belief that the Bible is perfect and infallible) -> cherry pick some Bible verse glorifying material success and implying God will give it to you if you're good enough -> preach this to your congregation.
