Yep, that's what he said.
Even evil demons do something, but you think humans have to do nothing.

Can you read, or are you blind?
Paul is telling the Ephesians that they are called UNcircumcised.
lol
Are you automatically assuming every Ephesian was uncircumcised?
Even evil demons do something, but you think humans have to do nothing.
What makes you think I think that?
Paul says plainly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised”.
If you want to keep asking after Paul says it, then you do not believe Paul.
Is that your answer as to why you think that I think humans don't have to do anything?
So do you want to claim now that we have to believe AND OBEY in order to get saved?
I'm saved everyday.
Think what you want.
What in the world are you taking about? You are the one who asked me if the Ephesians were circumcised.
You would have had a chance to know if you'd slown down.
I am not interested in your game playing.
Yes, everyone can see how twisted you are.
You are clearly insane....but you admit you have to do something. That means, according to you, Jesus needs your help to save you.
You should become a Calvinist.
Because they are JUSTIFIED, not because they suddenly became perfect in their actions.What some of them were MEANS THEY DO NOT do those things ANYMORE! But you say they do and were still sanctified!
There were synagogues in and around Ephesus, so there were proselytes which makes his statement a bit disingenuous.

No. We are NOT given the Holy Spirit to make us believe and obey. That is Calvinism.
We do not receive the Holy Spirit until after we believe and obey.
Jesus tells us what to do to get saved.
Dead in sins is about the Gentiles who did not use the blood of animals to atone for their souls.

Christians, both from Jewish and gentile backgrounds were being persuaded to continue the separation which existed previously, so Paul was telling them the truth to make them strong and stand against returning to division.
Even a simpleton can understand that but MADists teach the division will be reinstated in the coming Kingdom of God.
What a miserable lot of the lost.
