You can use untreated as long as you have a treated sill plate. Untreated wood should not touch the concrete.

I am considering finishing my basement. Can a power nailer drive a framing nail into a concrete basement wall to anchor the frame to the wall?
No. That would be very dangerous. In the US, pre-drill a hole through the framing and into the concrete with a masonry bit and install what is referred in the trades as a "Tapcon" screw. The concrete should be penetrated a minimum of 3/4". Ask for Tapcon screws at any hardware or home improvement store, and follow the instructions on the box.

Is it ok to attach a pressure-treated joist directly to a concrete slab as a foundation for a deck and should it be epoxied or bolted down?
You can set the joist directly into a 3 or 4 foot hole filled with concrete, however the life expectancy of the joist is about half when it does not come in contact with the ground at all. On my house I set them on metal brackets then epoxied the bracket bolt into the concrete. With pressure treated lumber this post will be "good as new" for 25 years. Depending on the area I have seen concrete ones disintegrate in 3-8 years.
