Ancestry
I thought that by using Family Search I would have free access to Ancestry and other sources but they all want me to sign up and pay a fee. Am I incorrect regarding this?

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Becoming a "Registered" User/Patron, of 'FamilySearch', DOES NOT, entitle/give one FREE access to, "Ancestry_com"; or, the like, from one's 'Home'.
NORMALLY ...
FREE access to, "Ancestry_com"; and, a number of other such "Websites", is available through, the MANY, "Family History Centres" of the Church, all around the work, to Users/Patrons attending those Centres.
Unfortunately, currently, for a short time ...
That FREE access to, , "Ancestry_com"; and, a number of other such "Websites", that is normally available through, the "Family History Centres" of the Church, is TEMPORARILY "Unavailable" for a period of time.
The TEMPORARILY "Unavailability", commenced on about 2 June (2020); and, may last up to x90 Days, for ESSENTIAL Planned (system-wide) Maintenance; and, updates, for the 'Portal' for the "Family History Centres".
Hopefully, after that, all will be back to normal.
Plus ...
Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch'.
Public access to limited access collections in family history centers
