Also i do believe its possible souls are saved by faith and perhaps sometimes faith alone

Weeeeelllll...i'm not sure that's quite true.
Because ostensibly back then, not only were there Prophets who were meant to be in direct communication with god but the things they were saying were directly backed up by real events.
Moses is all "Let my people go" and God is all "Have some plagues, Egypt. I'm part the Reed sea for y'all too". Chasms opening, mana falling from the sky, pillars of fire, destruction of cities.
God was apparently making his presence known all over the place back then so apparently faith wasn't the priority but rather obedience .
