In order to receive the gift through faith, the faith MUST be credited as righteousness by God. It is God who decides whether our faith is deeply rooted or superficial, and whether our commitment to Christ is full blown or just one among many competing priorities

False dichotomy - sort of.

There is not more than one sort of actual faith. Faith is either genuine or it isn't faith at all. It varies by degree but not in essence and we are told repeatedly that even the tiniest amount of faith is all God needs to see.

If God does not credit your "sort of faith" as righteousness, you do not receive reconciliation.

Oh ye of little faith sort of flies in the face of any amount will do. :)

Then of course we have Matthew 13 and folks with a sort of faith that did not cut the mustard.

The issue is simple, God decides whose faith will result in our conditional election.
