No sorry, what I meant is that if God is not sovereign in salvation, salvation doesn’t happen. My belief is that God must change our desires. He chooses us according to his great purpose(Ephesians 1)
No I am firmly a Calvinist, and I believe those that attribute salvation to humans choosing God are making salvation dependent on them. Scripture is clear that the whole point of the Bible is that we are dependent on him.
Actually I think you have a pretty common view, one that I would agree with. Salvation is initiated by God and he changes our desires so that our hearts of stone are made into hearts of flesh so that we now are able to choose him. But the thing is, only by his grace, even with this regenerate will, can we choose him. Salvation completely depends on God
