The ONLY problem with what you say is that it contradicts
Scripture. Scripture says the opposite. So I'll stick with
Scripture.

John 12:36 "While you have the light, believe in the light, that you
may become sons of light."

One is a "son of light" if one has been regenerated. Thus we
are to BECOME a son of light by believing.

Next, James 1:18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth,
that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

We are born again "through the word of truth." Not before we
hear it.

John 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his
name, he gave the right to become children of God—

How in the world do you answer a persons question,

"What must I do to be saved?"

I guess you cannot answer as the inspired Apostle did:

Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be
saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved, and thy house.

It is very interesting that Calvinism teaches the very opposite of what
Scripture states again and again.

Calvinism says, God first saves you, then you have faith as a result.

But God says again and again, that salvation comes through faith. First
believe, then God will give you salvation and eternal life.
