No you have not and I agree with all those scriptures
Contrarywise
You almost always are
John 3:16“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
Acts 16:31They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Rom 10:9–10that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Eph 2:8–9For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Mark 16:16He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.
Rom 1:16For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
John 3:36He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
John 5:24“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
Yeah you have
You ignored this
This is the drawing of Old Testament saints during the time of Christ’s Earthly dwelling
John 6:45 (NASB95) — 45 “It is written in the prophets, ‘AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.
Those who heard and learned come to the son
Those who believe Moses
John 5:46 (LEB) — 46 For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.
Believe Christ
Those who had God as their father
John 8:42 (LEB) — 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.
Love Christ
Those desiring the will of God
John 7:17 (LEB) — 17 If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.
Will know Christ's teaching is from God
Those who were God’s
John 17:6 (LEB) — 6 “I have revealed your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me, and they have kept your word.
And we see scripture states man has the ability to have the faith that leads to salvation
Romans 10:8–10 (NASB95) — 8 But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation

You said “without spiritual life and ability to do or act.” Sinning is a spiritual act. We are prone to sin, but not everything we do is a sin. Remember, Job was a righteous man!

When God draws an individual its His Divine Call or Summons or Gathering in and which results in Faith in Christ. We know this because the ones He calls according to Rom 8:30 He also Justifies them Rom 8:30
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
And that incudes Faith as promised Rom 3:30
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Gal 3:8
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Therefore, God's drawing is His calling/summon of the elect and it will be resulting in faith in Christ 15

Deut 30:11 Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.
We are capable of not sinning at any given moment.
