Yes but when Calvin says 'participation' there, the meaning is "union with Christ" (as Strong even points out there in that quote) much more so than us taking some active role. The fact that today when we say 'participation' we imply an active role being taken means we ought to be VERY careful when using the word - especially when trying to come up with a slogan.

"Many men, after a long conversion, see more of the workings of sin in their hearts than ever they did before or at their first conversion. Now, such men have not an increase of sin, but an increase of illumination and light" (Christopher Love)
