NO.

Why would they give you a free replacement?

What would make you think that Apple would replace a phone that you broke? If you buy a new TV and dump water in it, but it still looks brand new even though it will no longer turn on, would you expect the people who sold you the TV to give you a new one? What can you be thinking?

OK, first - stop using all caps. It is considered the same as yelling. If you have found someone who will replace a water-damaged device that is not covered by Apple Care for free, then it is your lucky day.

Best of luck,

Liquid damage is not covered under waranty. You representative needs a refresher course. Sorry but you will have to pay.

Cheers
