Those saved have been justified by Christ's faith, which faith included His works which brought about righteousness. No one is justified by their faith because a person's faith of itself, has no righteousness. Salvation is solely as a gift from God with no participation permitted other than to be its recipients.
[Gal 2:16 KJV]
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
[Phl 3:9 KJV]
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
I don't follow your "true danger" comment

Only God's works justify. Did you see the verses I included in my prior post about being justified by Christ alone?
We cannot be justified by any of our works no matter the source from which the requirement originated. In fact, any works one may undertake believing they are requirements for salvation, means they remain under law but the works do not save but bring God's
wrath and judgement instead.
[Gal 3:10 KJV]
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

No, they don't have freewill. Freewill was lost when Adam and Eve fell in the garden of Eden. Since then, man has been spiritually
blind and dead. One only gains spiritual life and sight when they become saved and born again.
[2Co 4:3-4 KJV]
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
[Eph 2:1 KJV]
1 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
[Col 2:13 KJV]
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
blind and dead. One only gains spiritual life and sight when they become saved and born again.

Shepherd said:
God tells us that for us to "Be like our Father" we must "love our enemies". Once again: If God hates the lost then He would be no better than He commands us to be. He would be a contradiction. Better give your heart to the God of the Bible. The Bible says "God is Love". Therefore, He loves the lost; ALL of the lost.
Matthew 5:44-48
