Cornelius in Acts 10 was a regenerate man since he had the fear of the Lord, he was also be considered wise, the beginning of wisdom, which no man has by nature
Prov 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
And Cornelius was a Just/Justified Man even before he heard and believed the Gospel Peter preached to him.
Acts 10 22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just/justified man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
He was already accepted of God and doing works of righteousness Acts 10:34
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Only a regenerate person can be accepted of God and be doing works of righteousness.
That cannot happen with man by nature Rom 3:10,12
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Nope just your presuppositions at work again reading into the text things it never says or implies.
And you have yours.

Which is the biblical one.
So you believe that a man as an infant deserves wrath for being born. I've heard enough nonsense from you.

Man is born worthy of wrath. Eph 2:3
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
The word nature is physis :
- birth, physical origin

Cornelius did righteousness before Peter preached the Gospel to him indicated here Acts 10:34
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Now John wrote 1 Jn 3:7
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
