Why assume that those who believe they are saved by faith will automatically use it as a license to sin?
Romans 3:28-31
For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is One God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. Do we, then, nullify the Law by this faith? By no means! Instead, we uphold the Law.…

4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.
Many with the belief that they are "saved by faith" seem to believe that it comes with a license to sin. Often they attempt to "justify" the fact that they continue to sin by saying nonsensical things such as:
You don’t seem to realize that there is a difference between ‘sinning’ and ‘living in sin’.
Children of God according to you never sin, which means no one is a child of God.
If you know the good you ought to do and don’t do it to you that is a sin. But that does not necessarily mean you are living in continual disobedience.
There is a difference between habitual sin and sinning on the odd occasion. Someone who is not a child of God will sin and think nothing of it, their sin doesn't even bother them. Whenever a child of God sins that are convicted by the spirit of God and will ask for forgiveness and they will seek deliverance.
And if you say that you have no sin you are a liar and the truth of God is not in you.
The underlying concepts for the above words and similar words are the foundation for their "license". Their foundation is made of sand.

Believing that denies the power of God’s Holy Spirit, which indwelt them at the time they accepted Christ if their acceptance of Him was sincere.
You deny the deity of Christ and apparently don’t believe the Holy Spirit exists either. You reject Christ’s sacrifice and Resurrection and are simply a modern-day Pharisee.

Why specifically can this behaviour be considered a “licence”?

Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.
How can anyone who believes the entire Bible say they have a 'license to sin'?
