Is there a recognised soteriology that combines selective election for some and general election for everyone else?

Although I honestly do not know too much about Roman Catholicism, it would seem they believe in "selective election" or predestined salvation.
This is an excerpt from Wikipedia: Predestination
Roman Catholicism
Roman Catholicism teaches the doctrine of predestination, while rejecting the classical Calvinist view known as "double predestination." This means that while it is held that those whom God has elected to eternal life will infallibly attain it, and are therefore said to be predestined to salvation by God, those who perish are not predestined to damnation. But Catholicism has been generally discouraging to human attempts to guess or predict the Divine Will.
The Catholic Encyclopedia entry on Predestination says:
God, owing to His infallible prescience of the future, has appointed and ordained from eternity all events occurring in time, especially those that directly proceed from, or at least are influenced by, man's free will.
I hope this helps!
