[Invincibly Ignorant]

Old Testament figuures were in the Limbo of the Fathers until Jesus came. While they were "saved" by faith in a future savior, they were not truly saved until Jesus opened the gate of Heaven after His death of the cross.

In the Book of Enoch he was in heaven. You may poo poo the book of Enoch but many of your church fathers considered it scripture and Jesus' half brother Jude quoted from it. At any rate, the tradition is as good as anything you would call "sacred" tradition.

I haven't looked at it. In any event, books are not accepted for canonization if they contain some doctrinal error. It could be perectly correct about whatever Jude quoted, but in error about Enoch in Heaven.

Obviously not.
