Hard Determinists can refer to free will existing just as Compatibilists do. [Does that, then, make them Compatibilists ?] In fact not only have i done so recently in this thread, i even one-upped the Compatibilists, and let dogs have freewill, too.
Concordant.org seem to be hard determinists, yet they affirm:
“Due to common misconception, one might well suppose that only the proponent of free will believes that men do whatever they want, according to their own choice or voluntarily. Yet these are our convictions as well, and are concepts which are fully in accord with our teaching. The fact that we act according to our own choice, and, had we chosen to do so, could have acted differently than we did, is not at issue and is acknowledged by all.” [by James Coram] concordant.org/expositions/his-a … ice-deity/
