Thanks, Whisper Sister, I forgot about her family. Rahab did seem to be a "prostitute with a heart of gold." And the Bible story illustrates her goodness by what she did. While I find myself, at times, being confronted with the task of evaluating those who may be, as you say,"justified by works" versus "rebellious within lack of works", it is rarely, I think, my task to make pronouncements of condemnation. I am often wrong in my evaluations of others.
