No doubt the Spirit brings conviction to the sinner, I agree with you on that. If they haven't received the Holy Spirit then they aren't going to confess Jesus as Lord.
1Co 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed"; and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.
