Having heard the word, you believed, and were sealed with the HS

[Our Lord's God]

hearing the word truth, the good news of your salvation, in whom you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise
Ephesians 1:13

Does this say believing is the result of being sealed with the HS?

Or does this say that the sealing of the HS is the result of believing?

I know what it says. Im not talking about the Spirit sealing. Im talking about in order for someone to spiritually hear so it effects faith/believing, they have to be already born of God. Thats different from the Spirits sealing work.

So then, according to you, one is raised up to new life in Christ, then believes, then receives the Spirit?

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”

1Cor. 4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

You need to be born again to have faith since it is a work of the Spirit.
