From
The Pelagian Controversy by R.C. Sproul
"Even the Council of Trent, which teaches a form of semi-Pelagianism, in its first three canons"
.

"However, the struggle within the church now is between the Augustinian view and various forms of semi-Pelagianism, which seeks a middle ground between the views of Pelagius and Augustine. Semi-Pelagianism teaches that grace is necessary to achieve righteousness, but that this grace is not imparted to the sinner unilaterally or sovereignly as is maintained by Reformed theology. Rather, the semi-Pelagian argues that the individual makes the initial step of faith before that saving grace is given. Thus, God imparts the grace of faith in conjunction with the sinner’s work in seeking God. It seems a little mixing of grace and works doesn’t worry the semi-Pelagian."

At least now we have the concept defined just above.
I would say in response that if I am considered to be semi-pelagian in that I hold that
we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; that in saying this I am not promoting that works in any way are the entry way into salvation, as R.C. Sproul seems to want to say in the above words. It is clear that he holds to a Calvinistic theology as do many respected teachers in the body of Christ. However some of them do take this to an extreme, to the point of denying such passages as Romans 5:1-2.
