Federal Vision and "Moral Government" Theory

So I was trying to explain to my Dispensational and elderly mom what happened at GA this week, and to do that, I had to try to explain Federal Vision. So I'm doing that and whan I explain how they think we've misunderstood Paul about justification, she says "So the Cross was a waste of time?".

That makes me wonder, if they really believe that by "justification" Paul really meant inclusion, not alien righteousness, doesn't that leave them with the "moral government" theory of atonement? If we don't need alien righteousness, then what was the Cross for, in their way of thinking.
