Romans 9 has nothing to do with predestination. It is about Israel as a nation being cut off. Israel - the nation - is the clay in the Potter's hands. Romans 9 is Jeremiah 18 applied to Israel. Jeremiah 18 is the chapter where God states that if He prophesies something and people repent then so will He. Sort of blows the whole Calvinist idea to smithereens.
This is just plain wrong teaching, Clete. You only deny Romans 9 teaches election (verse 11 explicitly says so), because God has never given you a new heart to believe in Jesus Christ raised up as sin, as substitute for each individual soul given to Him to redeem.
