How can you preach the gospel if you believe in limited atonement?

What if you're born deaf? [emoji6]

Where do we find scripture that indicates faith is innate in human beings?

Rom_12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Romans 10:17 indicates that the WORD (Logos) must speak in order for hearing to happen.

No it doesn't.
The Bible is the word and the preacher preaching it is how we hear. The Holy Spirit then works to bring us to conviction and surrender.

Let's look at the rest of the passage.

Romans 10:17-21 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, “I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry.” Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, “I have been found by those who did not seek me;

I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.”

But of Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”

MB, where in this passage is it implied that faith is innate?

Does it not take God speaking the word as well as God showing himself to those who didn't ask?

I am curious as to the other verses you might use to show that faith is innate in all humans.

Faith is not born. faith is in the creation of man. faith is a part of man. Man is created with it.
Rom_12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

You must consider the term "every man" to be universal, not to every man Paul was writing to, which would have been Christians.
I take it as the latter, which means that God dealt to every Christian a measure of faith.
I reject a universalist view in this text as I don't see it contextually in Romans 12.

No it doesn't.
The Bible is the word and the preacher preaching it is how we hear. The Holy Spirit then works to bring us to conviction and surrender.

Certainly the Word spoke and the writers wrote. A preacher does not have to preach when people can read. In fact a preacher can speak falsehood and thus be an obstacle to the Kingdom of God. Just look at the Pharisees for evidence.
Does the Holy Spirit work to convict and bring to surrender every single person in the world, universally?

Faith is not born. faith is in the creation of man. faith is a part of man. Man is created with it.

Romans 12:3 does not say such a thing. You are projecting an assumption upon the text and are building a false construct.

Scripture never says Gentiles are elect.

Of course it does. Read Paul's letters.

Prove what I said is a lie.....

Self evident. You made a claim you can't prove, then dare others to prove it wrong.
