There it is, the Correct Order of Events to be Regenerated.
5 because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction
Paul CONFIRMS what he wrote in Romans
So it's Hearing first, just like Paul writes in Roman's 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

The OP states: Did Jesus Die on The Cross for The Just/Elect/Saved Whose Names Are Written in The Book of Life OR
Does anyone actually think that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who created the world, was only partially successful??
God died for all people. Those who accept his sacrifice in lieu of theirs are saved and have eternal life. Those who do not accept His sacrifice for themselves are eternally doomed.
End of story!

well it's an important question,
We hear the words,.only the elect are saved.
Obviously there's more one context to this.
But we see that the eyes of heart need to be opened.
In one instance of the heart,.the heart experiences joy ( a fruit) from the seed which is light, before the seed was removed.
Do we conclude the eyes of the heart where not opened in that instance,
Should we also conclude such person was not elected either 🤔

Calvin quoted scripture too, but in a sense you are correct we really should go back to Augustine, now Augustine had a brilliant mind but he was not objective, when he interpreted scripture it was based on his own view of himself and his life, he was basically a scoundrel until his "conversion."
So being one of the first to teach this "system" is Augustine, experience informs me this "system" is dispersed throughout many books, pulpits etc., even if it not the full Augustine system.
So unless you can tell me you have never heard a sermon from the pulpit or read a book in your life you, me and many others have been influenced to see scripture through this lens.

Hearing is important, and it does come first! However, hearing (in and of itself) will not change your heart. It takes a working of the Spirit within the persons heart (in addition to hearing) to soften the heart so that it will receive what is heard. To think otherwise, would do away with the 3rd person of the trinity.
