Which means no man can cause another man to lose it

Not completely. You can lose it on your own :-)

Therefore, opinions expressed by me on this forum are incapable of causing anyone to lose his or her faith. -- if by "cause" on includes "influence", then yes, opinions expressed by you could cause it. An indirect cause, but a 'cause' nonetheless

Then, logically speaking, faith/salvation is not from God, but from man.

Let's do this again: if faith is salvific (i.e. faith = salvation), then man has nothing to do with who gets it and who doesn't.
