... because god is not punishing them, just working in mysterious ways for their ultimate salvation.

It's always the (evil, nasty, liberal) no good "Other" who is punished. Never the faithful because they are "saved", automatically, no matter what they do or opinions they hold, because they are "saved" by stating they are "born again". They say they are good because they are saved because they say they are good.
