In Ephesians 2:8 does και τουτο include the grace, the salvation, and the faith?

Question

Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"

τη γαρ χαριτι εστε σεσωσμενοι δια της πιστεως και τουτο ουκ εξ υμων θεου το δωρον

If και τουτο (and that) referes to the grace, the salvation, and the faith, would that make this verse contradict a synergistic view of faith?

Answer 1

KAI TOUTO is adverbial in this sentence, "and especially", and refers to the verb, SESWSESMENOI, "you are saved."  It serves the same function in 3 John 5.  See Wallace, Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics, p.334-335.  

Read "For you are rescued by benevolence through faith, and especially not because of yourselves."   KAI TOUTO points to you being saved/rescued not because of anything deserving in you, drawing the obvious conclusion that it is because of the work of Christ.
