I am glad we agree on at least something. So we agree that "being chosen by God, being reborn by God and being predestined" all precede faith.
What progress!

God chooses specific individuals or groups to do His work. Being reborn in Baptism precedes the faith for an infant. Being predestined is what the Church always taught; just not double-predestined.
