No you “explained” that you and the RCC believe a mish-mash promise that God gave men free will. If you think this is supported in Scripture, start again and show us what verse in, say, Romans 7 supports Paul saying, “I have free will”.

The chapter 7 concludes:

I myself, with the mind serve the law of God; but with the flesh, the law of sin. (Romans 7:25)

In the entire chapter St. Paul speaks of his will as a given reality; he comments on the weakness of his will, but never of its absence:

For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, I find not. (Romans 7:18)

I believe I already pointed that out to you.
