The "lost" the ones that rejected Jesus's free offer of salvation, John 3:16. They didn't believe.

Freedom. What Jesus came to do. No one has to remain in bondage to sin and death.

LOL, so the lost just stay lost, and only the saved can get saved. That's another gospel. surprise surprise
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.”
Ga 1:6.
The word for “marvel” is thaumazō. It carries with it the idea of surprise at the unexpected.

Yes that's one sorry Gospel alright.
A key verses for sharing the real Gospel is John 3:16, which states: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life". Other important verses include Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commissions his followers to "go and make disciples of all nations," and Mark 16:15, which says to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation".
Why "go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation" to people that are already saved?

He is our sanctification, as himself being purity, that the pure may be encompassed by his purity. He is our redemption, because he sets us free who were held captive under sin, giving himself as a ransom for us, the sacrifice to make expiation for the world. He is our resurrection, because he raises up, and brings to life.

Your not saved till your sins are forgiven. Hearing and accepting the gospel comes first before salvation.
According to the Bible, the gospel is the "good news" about Jesus Christ, which includes His sinless life, sacrificial death for the sins of humanity, burial, and resurrection from the dead.
It is the message of salvation for those who believe in him, leading to forgiveness of sins, a right relationship with God, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and eternal life. Believing in the gospel involves confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection.

"Christ died for all" is a key Christian belief based on Bible passages like 2 Corinthians 5:14-15, which say that Christ died for everyone, making salvation possible for all humanity.
You are promoting "Universalism". But the fact is, this dogma has no basis in Scripture and logically it is irrational.
Calvinism falsely teaches that only a select few are chosen for salvation. And that goes against 2 Corinthians 5:14-15.
He is how you are forgiven.

God has provided the means of salvation for all people, at all times, and in all places, not because He has to, but because He is good, and that truth is the very heart of what we call the gospel.
He gives all sinners the opportunity to come to Him to receive eternal life.
There has always been one gospel and it is the eternal gospel. Whoever repents and trusts in the Lord for their salvation and calls upon His name in faith is forgiven and credited with righteousness, being set apart in the Son. They are set apart, being in Christ, based on His work on the cross, who came down to earth as a man and atoned for the sins of all people.
Salvation comes by hearing and trusting the gospel, the news of God’s goodness and provision. This has been the good news since Adam and Eve left the garden. It has never changed; it has only been more fully revealed. By grace through faith, mankind is credited with righteousness and saved.
