How much cooperation does one have to believe in order to be a synergist? It seems a catch-all term like that is not very informative in the same sense that monergism is. For example, someone who believes that God initiates and then the one being saved completes would be a synergist but then so would someone who believes that salvation is entirely of God except the genuine response of the believer, and so would be the one who believes God revives the believers will and only then is the response possible.
For myself I fall in the middle category, recognizing the marring of the will through sin but not accepting the term of total depravity so not requiring a prevenient grace. To me it seems this position is obvious in the pages of Scripture as well as morally and logically necessary, yet I so often find myself at loggerheads with orthodox theologies of all sorts.
