Are the following necessary to be saved? For this "systematic approach" to Salvation, I will be sticking to the languages used on this website.

I will add to the list as we go but I'm going to start with the obvious first.

1. Is understanding of the English language necessary to be saved?
2. If not, then is a translator required?
 
The Fathers Election, The Sons Redemption, the Spirits Application !

Again. You are not dealing with any responses to you. You're just repeating the same claims over and over again.

Just how does someone understand the Scriptures without knowing the language wherein they are written? Don't you need to understand English to know the Scriptures?

What is spiritual about English?
 
1Co 14:7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
1Co 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
1Co 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
1Co 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

Just how does a person get saved without knowing the natural sound of the tongue defined by men?

Does God get "into" a language defined by men? A natural definition? A natural distinction?

If God "gets into" the language of men to express things to man, then it is impossible to claim that man must have a spiritual understanding of natural things.

Can you cash out what you're trying to get at a little more? My first response was going to be "there are translations in nearly every language nowadays."

But you seem to be wanting to convey that people can be saved based on a more spiritual or mystical communication that goes above and beyond written languages.

If a requirement for Salvation is expected of man, its works, freewill accursed religion

Did you ask God to save you? Why did you have to ask God to say you?

You really are not very well versed in Calvinism. You're really not.

Tell me what all YOU did when you got saved. By your own standard.... YOU WORKED.... to be saved.

The opposite. Understanding a natural language is required to understand the Gospel. No person can be saved without hearing the natural languages of mankind.
 
Acts 16:30 - And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

To believe the gospel is to trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the all-sufficient means of our salvation.

1 Corinthians 15:1 - Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures..

How can you do this without reading English?

Faith to faith?
 
There are 195 countries in the world today, 88 of them speak English.

Jesus' words.....
Mark 16:15-20
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the GOSPEL to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth NOT shall be damned.

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God UNTO SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Romans 10:14-16
And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!" But they have not all obeyed the gospel.

AND YET...........
Acts 2:6-21
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans?

God confounded the languages at the tower bc they sought to be as gods and breach heaven. There is hope!
John 16:8-11
“When He comes, He will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment: concerning sin, because they do NOT BELIEVE IN ME ; concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

John 17:17
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Why limit God to OUR understanding, he was not English. Has he sought counsel of man, in any language?
God's way are far above our understanding and he works in mysterious ways. Habakkuk 1:5. What we need is to be about his business and let God handle the hearts and how to bring his word to fruition, yes?
