anything can freeze. the water will just freeze at a different temperature because it has different chemicals in it. i work in a oils, gasoline, and chemical lab and i always freeze jet fuel at about -40C to -50C. everything can freeze, but if it has different components in it (aka contaminated), it will just freeze at a higher or lower temperature.

Clearly, you have to keep the water going into the home and in the toilet above freezing in order for the toilet to work. In fact, if you allow the water in a toilet to freeze, it is more likely than not it will break. Antifreeze will not work if you don't add it each time you flush to the bowl and the reserve tank. This will not help at all for the frozen water line feeding the toilet.

Salt and other chemical depress the freezing point of water
That is why they put water on the Roads when Freezing weather is expected
Sugars also cause freezing point depression antifreeze is a GLYCOL a sort of sugar

Any liquid can freeze. Salt, by the way, is already a solid. Though it'd have to be pretty cold for your toilet water to freeze.

You want serious answers, then use serious terminology, like "urine" or "dissolved solids" and ask serious questions.
Anyhow, it should be obvious to even the most casual student that anything can freeze, even toilet water. All that has to happen is that the temperature be below the melting point of a substance and it will freeze.

Yes, if it is cold enough, pipes and toilets can freeze. Salt water freezes all the time (icebergs). I'm not sure what more you are looking for as far as a scientific answer.

toliet water can freeze, it is just fresh water before you use it so if the house is cold enough the water in it will freeze and cause the pipes to crack. also there are only minerals in water like calcium they will not hither the water from freezing. salt melts things not feezes them anyways

If you would flush after using the toilet it would only have clean water in it. And that does freeze easily.

it should not freeze while its inside a warm house
but if the house is abandoned with no heat in the winter
then sure it would freeze

yes, everything has a freezing point...piss and chemicals included...but I don't know why you have chemicals in your toilet
