Your text, however, shows that not all respond. The Bible tells us why, but you reject the reason it gives.

Actual denial of the truth of scripture.

Act 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they
will hear it.
I got mu faith from scripture. You got yours by imagination.

Sigh...will you ever get tired of using verses out of context?

Let me ask you, has every non-Jew believed in Jesus penal atonement for sin and been saved?

Acts 28:17-28,30-31 After three days he called together the local leaders of the Jews, and when they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. When they had examined me, they wished to set me at liberty, because there was no reason for the death penalty in my case. But because the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar—though I had no charge to bring against my nation. For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am wearing this chain.” And they said to him, “We have received no letters from Judea about you, and none of the brothers coming here has reported or spoken any evil about you. But we desire to hear from you what your views are, for with regard to this sect we know that everywhere it is spoken against.” When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets. And some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: “The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet: “‘Go to this people, and say, “You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.” For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.” He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.

You sure we don’t have to harden their hearts a few more minutes? Or use some parables so they don’t get it right away?

Its really odd that you think you have disproved something because of context. The Gentiles can hear the gospel so for them there is no curse of not hearing or understanding. LOL You blew your own self out of the water with your delusion.

Acts 28:28 says The Gentiles will hear it. This proves that total depravity is false at least for Gentiles. Of course the Bible never tells the truth according to Calvinism.

The sheep are the ones God granted to have ears to hear, and who have been regenerated!

Can they do both? All?
Without the moving of the Holy Spirit upon a person's spirit, making that spirit alive to the gospel, can all Gentiles believe?

Gentiles can hear the Gospel. Only Jews have been blinded. The Holy Spirit convicts men of there sin. He does not regenerate men. The Bible does not say that He regenerates. You still have your old sin nature and you still sin, That does not sound like regeneration to me. Regeneration is suppose to make us Holy and there is not one holy person here.
