STO is automatic, STS requires the choice?

It doesn't work like this because you're looking at it from a single lifetime standpoint when your true self has made decisions across multiple lifetimes, and your polarity is set a certain way. Once you die you'll continue going on your current path even if in incarnation you decided to go elsewhere. You can't really fast track your way back to God because the nature of it is such that you must learn your lessons.
