The Calvinist position on free will is a bit more complicated. When humans do the will of God it is a sign they may be among the Elect and headed for Heaven. However, when they act according to their own debased free will then they are headed for Hell.

It's basically a get out of jail free card for God: Yes we have free will so if we end up in Hell it's our fault and not God's, even though He decided before the beginning of time who the Elect would be and who wouldn't.
