The Heidelberg Catechism is a teaching tool that much of Reformed Theology relies upon when attempting to clarify its theology. Think of a Catechism as a FAQ for teaching doctrine.

The WCF or Westminster Standards is an unofficial subordinate doctrinal standard that underpines much of Presbyterianism, Reformed Theology as a whole, and is still officially a subordinate standard for the Church of Scotland.

#13 T.U.L.I.P.

This easy acronym helps Calvinists to remember the primary tenants of Calvinist Theology. Each letter stands for a significant teaching of Calvin or his immediate followers. Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints. Often you'll hear someone say "I'm a 5 point Calvinist," meaning that they ascent to all 5 points of the TULIP acronym. You also commonly find 4 point Calvinists who object to Limited Atonement (the idea that Christ only died for the elect).

SCL additions:

Calvinist stand firmly on the belief that Grace from God is freely given and not earned. It gets it's own Sola, Sola Gratia, Grace Alone. Calvinist love seeing Grace in the titles to churches, books, and just about everything you can name.

Also, Calvinist theology long tied to Tulip has now taken the less controversial moniker "The Doctrines of Grace" to be the prevailing title to the 5 points of Calvinism.
