So both faith and their righteous works saved them. He always mentions both.

I'm just glancing at Hebrews 11. What works did Enoch do? What works did Sarah do?

INDEED.

Maybe someone can get to it before I do.

The assertion that in Hebrews, Paul never mentioned faith alone but always and only with works. IIRC, THAT’S BRAZENLY FALSE. Can someone else do a check on that and post it, please?

What works did Sarah do?

The most important work, which no man can do:

By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age; because she believed that he was faithful who had promised (Heb 11:11)

Regarding Enoch, we indeed don't know much but the scripture mentions that he "walked with God" (Genesis 5:22) and is counted among "men of mercy, whose godly deeds have not failed", who "pleased God" (Ecclesiasticus 26:10,16).

I'll call it a day here, more tomorrow.
