No Wesley believed man was totally unable to respond to God because of the sin of Adam..He saw that it was necessary for God to intervene with His Grace if man were ever to hear and respond to the gospel. The difference in the theologies is IMHO primarily on the type and manner of grace.

So, was this prevenient grace applied at birth, or later in life?

Wesleyans believe that every man is born with a measure of Gods grace..and that grace is active during our lives and it keeps drawing men to God.But that man can continue to ignore or refuse the work of the grace

I have a book on Spiritual formation that talks about "intersections " with God. Moments in our history where we were aware of His presence in our lives.

Those would be considered a sign of God's work in sinful man..
