I voted yes because of when depravity is discussed it concerns the state of man in our nature. Our heritage is one of totally depravity. I think if we start seeing ourselves as less depraved then a works/pietist view of ourselves will manifest whereby we will depend upon our works or pietism, not totally upon God.

Now, our nature has been changed (regenerated), but we are unable to keep from sinning. Even the good that we do does not come from pure motives.
