If PISTEUSANTES is causal, then Paul is assuming they had received the Holy Spirit and is merely asking how that happened. Their response seems to militate against that interpretation, "No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit." Doesn't this suggest they understood Paul to be asking if they had received the Holy Spirit either when they believed, or since they believed?
