Again, you got to understand the story of redemption. We are born in Adam but that doesn't change what's required. God promised in Gen 3 that the seed of Eve would crush Satan. He didn't say anything about how man had to have some self-produced faith to meet any conditions. Simply the seed would do the work.
Adam was supposed to work his way to glorification but failed and we all died in him to God. And as you read through the OT God is always the one who does the work to save his people. The OT points to the one who will do the work for them.
Making faith a work is no different than any other work. It makes faith a law and as Paul said numerous times if you live by the law you will die by the law. Faith is always passive and merely receives and rests on the true power.

AMEN! All glory to God.
That phrase actually means what it says. All.
