There you have it, that redemption is NOT salvation but the result of the price paid by Jesus Christ for all mankind that they might obtain salvation through faith, believing the account of His sacrifice and the reason why..
Redemption was/is a not something faith rewards, we had nothing to with it nor could we. It was a happening by Jesus to be understood as the means/venue for man to obtain salvation because it canceled the POWER of sin over mankind. The result being "salvation" by the exercising of one's faith when understood . . . not be confused with being born again. So get it straight: Redemption is a fact purposed to be the new foundation of man's life who, by faith, places his life in Christ Jesus as a new born child of God. cf John 1:12 kjv.

Yes, we are receiving our salvation now.

Which is life from the dead.

Indeed! It is a process by which we work it all out by allowing the Holy Spirit to make known to us our problem that need be dealt with by intimately abandoning our lives to Him Who desires to make known to us the mystery surrounding His so great salvation.

Redemption was for all and accomplished by Jesus. Redemption does NOT mean salvation. What it means is that, universally, mankind was restored to the possibilities of direct access to God that Adam's transgression severed. That is NOT debatable. It is a fact. Salvation is subsequent to redemption and by faith it can only be appropriated. It should be needless to say not all have nor will some ever accept such "Good News".
Mankind is still totally depraved and don't want to come to Jesus.

Find me that anywhere stated in the scriptures? ANYWHERE that it means as you believe it?

GO FOR IT!
No one went for it when God called. No one answered means none, not some. Not a little bit. Not few. None means none. How much more none can none get. None went for it. That includes you!
