Uh, "respond" is a Modern English word. And there are many modern English dictionaries. Proverbs 29:19 , a translation of the Hebrew word מענה. And, guess what! It's a VERB ! An ACTIVE VERB ! Something you DO ! :)

sigh, I don't know how else to take this except you cannot show me from scripture that response to God in salvation biblically is considered a work. What we are talking about here is that your assertion that if man must respond it is a work is in error. Scripture never suggests such an idea. I just figured if you were going to assert it you could defend it.
As far as your divergent request is concerned
Romans 10:9-10 , Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30

Where can you show me from scripture that our responding to God results in our regeneration?

Those are required by sinners by God though in order to have them get saved, correct?

If you've never responded then you must be dead.
If you are dead it's too late.

Jesus stated that only his own would heed his voice, only those whom the Father gave unto him to be saved, and that his parables were meant to give those blind spiritual more blindness, but would be received by his own!

None of those passages say "Jesus stated that only his own would heed his voice, only those whom the Father gave unto him to be saved, and that his parables were meant to give those blind spiritual more blindness, but would be received by his own!"
