Keep in mind that “free will” concept also includes the idea that man is responsible for his salvation. He can then take credit for being one of the saved. A dangerous road to walk.
no. it doesn’t mean that.
free will simply means the ability to say yes or no without God making either choice impossible for you to accept or reject, as if He did that, you would not be making a 100% choice on your own.
all saved christians realize they are not saved by anything they do or not do. it all is because of Christ’s work.
