And yes, faith is implanted by the Lord - we are vessels - He is the source.
Good point.
When I use the term ‘faith alone in Christ alone’, it isn’t meant to deny good works, nor that we continue to grow through faith in Him.
Instead, it is intended to an audience who has never considered or exercised simple faith in Christ.
It is an attempt to communicate how one thinks when they are exercising faith in what He performed on the Cross.
A full life also enjoys work through faith in Him, our living God, in everything He provides, explicitly through faith alone in Christ alone.
