There are a MULTITUDE of examples in the gospels of how individuals TOOK THE INITIATIVE and approached Jesus for cleansing and healing and forgiveness of sins.
That is EXACTLY what this existence is all about.
Let the chosenites try and twist this scene into a Calvininte farce:
[Luk 7:37 NKJV]
And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, ***when she knew*** that [Jesus] sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,
[Luk 7:38 NKJV]
and stood at His feet behind [Him] weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped [them] with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed [them] with the fragrant oil.
[Luk 7:44 NKJV]
Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has (taken the initiative) washed My feet with her tears and wiped [them] with the hair of her head.
[Luk 7:45 NKJV]
"You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in.
[Luk 7:46 NKJV]
"You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has (taken the initiative) anointed My feet with fragrant oil.
[Luk 7:47 NKJV]
"Therefore I say to you, her sins, which [are] many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loves little."
[Luk 7:48 NKJV]
***Then*** He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."

This "debate" is over. Whether the Calvinites understand it or not.

And the point here is that she knew WHERE HE WAS LOCATED.
And then she took swift decisive action.
Mat 14:34
And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
Mat 14:35

Luk 7:37
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew G1921 that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, (WHERE HE WAS LOCATED) brought an alabaster box of ointment,
