Ephesians 1:13–14 (LEB) — 13 in whom also you, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also when you believed you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the down payment of our inheritance, until the redemption of the possession, to the praise of his glory.

They were sealed in Christ, when they believed.
Which is after "in whom".

What folk don't realize with God Rom 4:17

17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

God chose a people in Christ before they existed in time
 
Nope. It is God who grants or gives belief which involves a choice.
If God wants to choose people who are in his son to be holy to be holy and blameless in love he can

Scripture, however, never states God has irresistibly installed faith in all those in Christ as your doctrine holds.

The choice was that that in Christ would be holy and blameless

That God would irresistibly install faith in some unconditionally selected is stated nowhere in scripture.

The Grace of regeneration gives full conversion, which includes Faith in Christ. The Grace of regeneration is the irresistible because man being dead in sin when it occurs is passive. You can't resist resurrection from the dead. It's like saying that the dead Lazarus could have resisted his resurrection from the dead

Nonsense the Holy Spirit will not indwell one still in sin.
 
He gives regeneration to sinners, what do you mean. The regenerated person is a new creation, born of incorruptible seed. Even the regenerated still carries along the sinful flesh see Rom 7 and Gal 5
Sorry the Holy Spirit does not indwell the sinful unbelieving dead

John 7:37–39Now on the last day of the feast—the great day—Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let him drink, the one who believes in me. Just as the scripture said, ‘Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.’ ” (Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)

Acts 2:38
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Gal 3:2I want only to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Gal 3:14in order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Eph 1:13–14in whom also you, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also when you believed you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the down payment of our inheritance, until the redemption of the possession, to the praise of his glory.

John 14:15–17“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, in order that he may be with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know him. You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.
