Pilgrim:
"Yet, what actually brings salvation is the sovereign spiritual (invisible) work of the Holy Spirit in the elect's soul, which "normally" is expressed outwardly and visibly. However, when regeneration occurs, the natural and infallible response of the new nature is a reaching out to God. The fact that it may not be perceptible does not negate its reality."

I agree. It is God who does the drawing and the Holy spirit that does the work. This covers whomever in whatever state of development.
