Because your free choice determines whether you go to heaven or hell, we can therefore say: “God predestines no one to go to hell; for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end” (C.f. CCC 1037 – IV. HELL:
“God predestines no one to go to hell;620 for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. In the Eucharistic liturgy and in the daily prayers of her faithful, the Church implores the mercy of God, who does not want “any to perish, but all to come to repentance””

St. Augustine:
He who created thee without thy help does not justify thee without thy help. (Sermo 169, II, 13)
God is good, and God is just. He can save a person without good works, because He is good. But He cannot condemn anyone without evil works, because He is just. (Contra Jul. III 18, 35.)
His mercy comes before us in everything. But to assent to or dissent from the call of God is a matter for one’s own will. (De spiritu et litt. 34, 60)
