But isn't the passive action of God still an implicitly active predestination of the reprobate to damnation?

This is an imperfect hypothetical, but if my dog runs out into the street and I have the power to grab his leash and choose not to and he is hit by a car that I knew would kill him, while I am not morally responsible for his death, I am causally responsible for it.

Maybe I'm off the trail here.
