Those that are "saved" are the exact opposite. No matter what they do it is counted as "good." The actual consequences of their free choices have been removed.

Unless I am misunderstanding what you are saying this statement is dead wrong. Just because we are saved is not a license to go out and do what ever we want and it is good. Explain!

I know that being "saved" is not a license to sin. But what I am saying is that if God is seeing Christ "covering" us then any choice we make is unimportant to our salvation. If no matter what we do, we can not lose our salvation then we are no longer free.

We do not lose our salvation when we sin, but we do loose our fellowship with God, we loose our closeness to him. There are consequences to all sin. But not lose of salvation. If Sara grows up to be a real hellion, she will still be your child, you may be angry with her, you may not be close to her, but she is still your child, just as we are children of God.
