[Hermann the Cherusker]

Should we then assume that any prophet or holy person in the Bible was similarly miraculously transported to heaven merely because we do not have (or claim to have) their remains?

Yes. And I say this not just about Enoch and Elijah who were translated to heaven, and Moses, whom St. Michael the Archangel took possession of (Jude 9), but many, if not all of the Old Testament Saints. Cf. Matthew 27.52 and Ephesians 4.6-8.

Christ at his Ascension took the Saints of the Old Testament times to heaven, having awaken them from their graves at his Crucifixion and Resurrection. Or do you believe that some men die TWICE? (Cf. Hebrews 9.27)

But the rosary is offered as a get-out-of-jail-free card since Mary will come free you from purgatory on the Saturday night following your death if you faithfully practiced the rosary. No such promise has been claimed for devotion to Mass.

You're confusing the wearing of the Scapular with the recitation of the Rosary. Our Lady promised those who devoutly wore the Brown Scapular that they would spend no more than a week in Purgatory. As for Holy Mass, devout participation in it with frequent worthy reception of Our Lord in Holy Communion is a sure way to heaven with no stops in Purgatory, because reception of Holy Communion remits venial sins and temporal punishments. I can tell you all about our pious beliefs regarding this if you need it, but quite simply, its all based on John 6 - "unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you shall have no life within you."

You know, some would say that this comprises a salvation by works.

Doesn't devoutly wearing the brown scapular have also as one of the conditions the recitation of the rosary, or is there another promise concerning the scapular?

"You at least try to console me. Announce in my name that I promise to help at the hour of death, with the graces needed for salvation, whoever on the First Saturday of five consecutive months shall:

1. Confess and receive Holy Communion;

2. Recite five decades of the Rosary;

3. Keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me."
