The truth and reality of God silly.Only know silly what?
Affirmative !If we believe that Jesus Christ died for everyone, then thats not Faith in Christ. The Christ in scripture is the One who laid down His Life for His Sheep Jn 10:11,15
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Jesus Christ of scripture only died for His People Matt 1:21, a people the Father has chosen before the foundation of the world. Believing in a christ that died for everyone, and of course knowing everyone wont be saved, changes the whole dynamic of the Cross and Faith in His Blood.
If one is born again before they believe
You didnt answer the question:
Is a man born again [ saved] before he can believe, before he can have faith in Christ ? Or is he still unregenerate and in the flesh when he first believes and put trust in Christ ?
Amen Sister, Faith is the fruit of life !Yes, Faith / Believing is a fruit of the Spirit given in New Birth.
Gal. 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness faith.
So unless and until one has been Born of the Spirit in new birth, their own work of faith / believing
while still in the flesh cannot please God Rom. 8:8; Is. 64:6.

One cannot get the Spirit unless one has faith
John 7:38-39 (ESV)
38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”
39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Galatians 3:14 (ESV)
14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
Where does the bible ever say:Amen Sister, Faith is the fruit of life !

Chapter and verseFaith/belief causes regeneration.
Does scripture mGot to get the faith before ya get the spirit?
And how is getting faith achieved, by the idol free will?
Suddenly, a spiritually dead person chooses to express his free will to make himself believe?
This free will thing something you carry around with you until you decide to use it to your benefit?
And there are so many Arminians who believe one can loose there salvation. Must be because they freely choose to loose it.
free willers just don’t see that their savior isn’t Jesus, it’s that ol’ free will god.
It’s as if Jesus couldn’t accomplish what He came to do, “save all the Father has given Him” so He just turned it over to the god of free will to make it happen.
Consider God’s word in scripture, give Him the glory, stop trying to get some for yourself. Satan lied, you cannot be like God.....

I cannot tell where this fits into your types of faith, but Romans 1 and Hebrews 11 both speak of the gift of knowing that God exists. This is faith, but it does not save,
