Have you never heard Calvinists support their Total Depravity petal by arguing that regeneration must precede faith because the natural mqn is totally depraved and cannot believe unto salvation, So you must be regenerated first and given Christ's faith to believe unto salvation. And if you believed before regeneration you would be doing something to be saved and your own faith would be a work of your own that saves you. You would be claiming to save yourself and be stealing glory from God.
Have you never argued like that yourself?

No idea where you got that idea. It's not accurate. 99% of the arguments against reformed doctrine (which I prefer to call it) are Strawmen.
