“Abraham’s faith was accorded to him as righteousness. Job was “perfect”. David was a man after God’s own heart, etc. It obviously worked in those cases. In fact, it always worked as God willed.”

No, it didn’t, FK, not until after the Incarnation. Abraham, Job, David, etc. were all captives of Death in the place of the dead; not one of them was “saved” until Christ freed them.
