At least in countries that charge patients money for their healthcare, these religious hospitals are free, right?

A few, but not remotely all. It's really up to the individual hospital.

Then you've got the weird case of St. Jude's which is somehow not a Catholic hospital despite literally being built as a shrine to St. Jude Thaddeus (patron saint of hopeless causes) by a Catholic man to fulfill a promise he made to build a shrine to St. Jude. St. Jude's also does not charge patients for treatment, travel, housing, or food though they will bill insurance where possible.
