Question for christian universalists

Christian universalism says everyone goes to heaven literally for free.The reason I don't like this idea is that you can live a life as bad as you want and still go to heaven with a pat on the back.At least that is what I have heard.Is this really what Christian universalism is all about?

No.

The fundamental point to Universalism is "universal Salvation". The premise is that God loves all His children and wants them saved.

Almighty God gets what He wants.

Are you with me so far? Disagree about either of the assertions I just made?
If so, what is your disagreement.

No. If anything of us survives death, then what we allowed ourselves to become in life will still be who we are in death. So either no one is escaping themselves, or there is no "self" to escape.
