That is, being "set free" does not track christianity any more than it tracks other faiths.

I think it is very relevant, because:
(1) Not all "christians" know Jesus Christ.
(2) All "true christians" that have been set free from drug and porn addiction, have made the claim that they have been set free by Jesus Christ.
2) many non-christians are "set free".
Set free from what? Drug and porn addiction? Without any medical help?
I'd love a few examples...

That brings me back to the point of whom or what they claim to have set them free, and whether they have indeed been set free. I don't know of any other religion that would require a person to be set free from sin in order to qualify to enter into Heaven. If I am wrong, please help me out...
