I think this is a nonsensical question to begin with since Paul repeatedly taught that faith and works are mutually exclusive. I have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow. If I drop something I have faith it will fall to the ground, rather than go up. No effort on my part causes or helps these things to occur and I didn't have to work up any faith to believe these realities.If you have no faith in Christ, can you somehow work up faith in Him?
The scriptures are replete with examples of those who heard from God either directly, through others, or through the preaching of the gospel. When confronted with the reality of God and His Word and conviction of the Holy Spirit they either believed and expressed faith in Him or rejected, continuing to exalt self.
