Not sure which you are really intending to address, whether it be freewill or God's means of salvation. But the connection is certainly one to be considered.
In the timeless reality of God, both, and quite literally all things, happened "before the foundation of the world." Thus, freewill is not something we do after the fact, or during what is perceived as "these times", but is something we did, that is just now being revealed "each in his own order." Therefore, it is instead correct to say that we "had" free will, just as it is correct to say that Christ was slain before the foundation of the world.
God has "created" a means by which He reveals things in what we ironically call "real time" that is not actually real, but only perceived as such. Or if you can receive it...that this is that time. Which is ill-advised, because that means siding with the idea that what was and is "created" is the greater reality...and it is not. "I am" is the greater reality, and there is no other reality, except that which was created for revelation.
So, no, God does not save people that way. But has establish an eternal matter of choice, wherein we now experience those things that are, rather than deciding along the illusion of a timeline that does not actually exist with God.
