So, to me what you are saying is your conversations are one way only; your way. I don't like solicitors/salesman that come calling when I didn't request it. You are saying you have no room to learn, and that you know it all. I have stated many times that I am not a scholar on the Bible. However, I believe I know enough to know what I believe. You seem to be one of those that wants to shove belief down one's throat. It doesn't work that way. Actually, the opposite. I deduct that you think conversation is a waste of time; as you say, it interrupts you. Well, if that is how you feel, then it is not necessary for you and I to have any more conversation. Do you have actual conversations with God? And, I am not talking about prayer. Good luck with your conversion techniques. I am done conversing with you. Carry on.
Can a dead person respond to the gospel? No in the sense that you are dead and the fact that God didn't answer means that (1) you can't rebirth yourself and (2) God didn't perform a miracle.
Ephesians 2:1 ¶ And you hath he quickened,
who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
The unsaved person is carnal and has enmity (hatred) towards God.
Romans 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
The unsaved person doesn't seek after God.
So the Bible says you aren't seeking and you have hatred towards the real God and because you hate God, you hate his servants because you called me a name:
John 15:18 ¶ If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
So until you genuinely come to a saving knowledge of the truth, my taking the time to talk to you means that I don't spend time working on the gospel for someone else to come and that means that I waste time with you instead of having someone else come into the Kingdom of God for salvation.
I could talk to you but what would it yield? You would think you are right in your own eyes:
Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
And if I answer you but can't prove something, you will think you are right in your own eyes and continue to go down the wrong path that everyone else seems to be going down.
Proverbs 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
And the number of times to come into conflict with people hardens people's hearts:
Proverbs 29:1 ¶ He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
And I'm not your friend yet because you are a non-Christian in my eyes:
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
My grandmother was in the Church of England and there were a line of pastors who wanted to reform the church and they didn't so my grandmother didn't give me religion but only prayed for me because that is what wisdom and God told her to do. I was in your shoes where I didn't want to listen so I lost out on a lot of early teaching that is older than me and I'm trying to remember what I have heard.
This wisdom is from God and it is older than you and I am following it. You would only hold me back in what I want to do which is write Bible studies, preach the gospel, do evangelism, etc, etc, etc. There are no heavenly rewards in wasting my time but I could easily charge you for what I do because this gospel is not cheap and my time isn't cheap either.
