God made coverings for both A&E; but where in scripture does it remotely hint that Adam embraced God's provision by faith? Also, didn't God make atonement provision in the Law of Moses for all Israel, but does that mean that all Israel was saved? Or...were only those who availed themselves of that provision by faith saved?

Actually, the bible is quite specific! Unlike scripture's positive testimony about Eve's faith, there is no such explicit testimony regarding Adam. And this fact is just the tip of the iceberg regarding all the many problems surrounding Adam. The most pernicious and persistent of these problems with Adam involves a spiritual question that does not plague Eve: Adam was the spiritual seed of whom, specifically? God did not reconcile Adam to himself when He decreed to the Serpent that he would put enmity between the Serpent and the Woman and between the Woman's seed and the Serpent's, clearly implying that God removed the enmity that Eve's sin put between her and her Creator. Adam is conspicuously absent from the redemptive promise in Gen 3:15. Plus Adam could not possibly be one of Eve's seeds since she proceeded from Adam. Therefore, since Adam cannot be included into Eve's seed, then by default Adam must be the seed of the Serpent. Whose other seed could he be???

All the many strikes (about 14 of them if I recall) against Adam are most certainly revealed in scripture and make for very compelling evidence. Where in the scheme of progressive revelation is anything spiritually positive said about Adam? Yet, we do have positive spiritual statements made about Eve (3 of them in fact)! You don't find this fact just a wee bit odd?
The fact that God provided coverings for A&E does not alone prove redemption for either of our first parents since God's provision must be received by faith. Cain and Abel are also proof of this fact!
Logically, speaking, I have to go with the preponderance of biblical evidence both for Eve's redemption and against Adam's. To hang the entire post-Fall account on just one verse (Gen 3:21) is not prudent, wise or logical.

FWers are long on boasting and bragging about their volitional prowess and powers but come up totally short on the virtue of humility. Just like the ungodly within the world system, FWers must find something upon which to take credit for their own salvation. The sin of pride (which always exalts Self and, therefore, makes all unbelievers idolaters) is at the very core of their humanistic "theology".
Here's another text, they won't like because it doesn't flatter mankind:
Job 25:2-6
2 "Dominion and awe belong to God;
he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
3 Can his forces be numbered?
Upon whom does his light not rise?
4 How then can a man be righteous before God?
How can one born of woman be pure?
5 If even the moon is not bright
and the stars are not pure in his eyes,
6 how much less man, who is but a maggot —
a son of man, who is only a worm !"

I know... and there are so very many verses that directly contradict what the free willers believe
it is absolutely impossible to include them all on one panel even if I exclude a figure! I know
because I have tried and also I have attempted grouping certain themes together to keep
focused on one element of the discussion using verses that teach the opposite of what they
promote, but even doing that it becomes difficult to include all relevant verses.

Surely, there was grace in the Law of Moses in terms of redemptive provisions that was extended to all Israel, so does this mean that God saved all Israel? Was not the nation known for paying huge lip service to the Lord while Israel's heart was far removed from Him?
I just cannot proclaim Adam's salvation based upon one verse -- a text that does not speak to Adam's faith or repentance. Nor can I posit such salvation for anyone when scripture consistently speaks of a person in negative terms, which is precisely the case with Adam.

It seems free willers have the exact same problem that God took issue with the ancient Israelites: self exaltation.
Surely there are other terms we could use and apply... and they would likely all fall into the category of idolatry, led by pride.
Why do none of them see it? Who has so thoroughly deceived them? <= rhetorical questions.

The "sheep" metaphor is yet another figure of speech that FWers play loose and fancy with! Sheep are not only among the dumbest animals on the planet but they also lack physical strength and speed to protect themselves from all their natural enemies. Sheep always required the care of shepherds. The "sheep" metaphors harmonizes nicely with the idea of helpless sinners!

For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by
sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus
condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteous standard of the law might be
fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
From Hebrews 10 verses 1, 4, and 1 Corinthians 5 verse 7 The law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves... because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Christ our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed for us. Thank you, Jesus!

But Yeshua is not in Adam's lineage! He's in Eve's! If Adam was saved after the Fall, why doesn't Jesus descend from Adam's seed, instead of Eve's?
It's only fitting that Adam is listed in Luke's lineage since he was created by God directly -- not procreated as the rest of the people included in the lineage.
Furthermore, Eve is not included in any lineage in the NT -- yet, the Messiah descended from her!
