Faith. How is God not a respector of persons if He chooses based on a conditional met by the persons?

Because He makes the faith possible in both calvinism and in arminianism. The first says irresistible grace and the other says prevenient grace.

Yes, but in Arminianism it is only those which are foreseen to respond in faith who are elected. The distinguishing factor rests with the individuals, thereby making Him a respector of persons.
