Born again through faithMan must be born again. In his first birth of the flesh he has a hard heart of stone.
Man is not so totally inabled he cannot respond in faith
1 Cor. 4:15 —KJV
“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.”
Rom. 1:16 —KJV
“¶ 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.”

Man naturally doesnt have the fruit of the Spirit which faith comes from Gal 5:22. The natural man in the flesh cannot please God which Faith from the Spirit does. Rom 8:8Born again through faith

So are you born saved? Born in a neutral state?? Only to loose it at some point and must believe to regain it again?Matt. 13:15 —ESV
“For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’”
Rather their heart had grown that way and their eyes they have closed
Did some one say saved ?So are you born saved? Born in a neutral state?? Only to loose it at some point and must believe to regain it again?
No
Rather the issue was were these born in their condition or had they grown that way.
The text is pretty clear they became that way in time
Matt. 13:15 —ESV

So what was their original condition? You skipped that question. Who is "this people"?
The issue was being born again by the gospel through faithMan naturally doesnt have the fruit of the Spirit which faith comes from Gal 5:22. The natural man in the flesh cannot please God which Faith from the Spirit does. Rom 8:8
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
