So, our difference would be to what degree you believe faith is man-generated. My view is to say 0%

That is not our difference at all! Everything you say is what Catholics and Orthodox believe: faith comes from God; faith move sus to do good works in His name. Where we differ is that the Church believes, and has always believed, that man is free and capable to accept or reject the faith.

OK, then exactly what is it that would cause a man to accept the faith?
