Right, whether you are Calvinist or not, everyone should believe that Salvation is only God’s gift to give, which is the main idea of Eph 2:1-10.
Eph 2:8 teaches that Faith is the gift of God, so its not a condition man must meet to get saved, its a gift given when a person is being saved.

The strict application of what is said or meant by reformed teachings is that there has been given to some ability to believe while others have not this ability.
Yes Faith to believe is only for Gods Elect chosen in Christ before the foundation, its one of those Spiritual blessings Eph 1:3-4

You didnt even read the Expositors Greek Commentary that you quoted. You missed the conclusion at the bottom… which is what I’ve been telling you. :D

If you would like to check more commentaries out, check out this great resource:
