How would you answer a friend who said, "I am not a biblical literalist and not a sin-focused or original sin believer."?

Her full quote:  I am not a biblical literalist and not a sin-focused or original sin believer. I think we all are made in the image and likeness of God, and that grace and love are the eternal essence of God, not our supposed separation from God and “his” supposed wrath."

UPDATE ON HER ANSWER after she read the 2 answers, 7/21/21:

"Jack, ...No need to “try” to save me anymore and get me to agree with your religious views; Jesus has been my best bud since I was 2 1/2 years old and could first hear the story and see my mom and her mom’s example.  Our theology and biblical understanding may be different but there is room for both of us in the many mansions in heaven where the trinity has prepared a place for each of us, (and others you may think don’t qualify). Good plan to stay open-hearted and humble.  “You will know we are Christians by our love” and when we leave any supposedly righteous judging to a higher power and wisdom. “Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and your neighbor as yourself.  All the law and all the prophets fall under those two commandments”. Amen."
