I’m just not seeing what the theology claims as either/or.
Either we are in the snare of the devil or held captive in the will of God as you said.
Is there some back and forth from captive of devil to God in our not-free choices?

First you need to go back and define “free will,” or at least defend it from my definition, before you start talking about “free choices.” I don’t see how you can come to these conclusions with anything I have written, except perhaps if this was your conclusion from the very beginning.
