I believe so. For I understand the below Scripture:
John 9:39-41 NLT - "Then Jesus told him, "I entered this world to render judgment--to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind." Some Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked, "Are you saying we're blind?" "If you were blind, you wouldn't be guilty," Jesus replied. "But you remain guilty because you claim you can see."

Never heard of God saving a person with free will. That's the opposite of what Scripture reports.
Self-control is Godly behavior. Even athiest exhibit Godly behavior when they are required to be orderly during their evil meetings. They follow the Plan of God when they require self-control. Self-control is an illusion, for when a person possesses, self-control, they are possessing the behaviors that the Lord desires.
Pretty interesting ideas you have there.

And why are you conflating free choice to free will
Hey, I have a question for you, considering that you have free will to choose the Devil or God, depending on your heart at any given moment of the day. Do you relate to Paul when he wrote the following:
Romans 7:21-24 NLT - "I have discovered this principle of life--that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God's law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?"

Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?"
