what I mean by "how far you advance the kingdom despite your fall" is that the crown we get in heaven will mark the difference between those who were simply saved and those who got saved and helped the kingdom along.
then again, do we know whether judas was saved or not? well, i guess it all depends upon whether or not he accepted the free gift of salvation or in the end rejected it i'd say salvation and good deeds are separate
I would think Moses was justified by His will or Levitical laws or something like that. Either way he didn't go to heaven strait off, he would've gone to Abraham's bosom much like Lazarus in Luke 16.
And would Sampson have been justified by his being dedicated to His will as a child? Or would submission and worship have sanctified both.
More study needed. (as opposed to Moor study needed, lol (Othello in Shakespeare class))

Most generally assume Judas Iscariot's damnation; however, if you can prove he wasn't I'd like to see it.

if i understand correctly, the prophets were saved ex post facto
