But the crux of the matter is that they were manifesting possessing the sin nature before partaking of the Tree!

I think I can agree with everything, except that sentence; that is if I understand your point.

I don’t remember any Reformed theologians saying that before.

From my understanding of them, they said Adam and Eve processed ability to sin and not to sin. It was not until they actually partook of the tree, that they got a sin nature.
