It is kind of like me forgiving a person that has did me wrong without their asking for it. I am free from their deed, but until they ask me they are not. So likewise God has already extended forgiveness, but we are not free until we ask for it.

I like how you put that. So, are we not truly forgiven until we ask, even if the offended has already forgiven us in his heart?
Wow, this is deep stuff.
