"saved in sleep" is a false, man made doctrine. It does not come from the bible and is not true.
It was God who blinded their eyes.
I believe that they must accept Christ to be saved. They were saved in sleep before Bethlehem through a symbol of Christ, now they have simply rejected Christ and only a remnant are saved in Christ today.
But if we believe that, we must believe all scripture, and scripture tells us we have earthly rewards for following the Lord. In as much as they use scripture to plan their days, there us a natural outcome from those things they follow.
What is eternal about the old covenant tells us this. There is absolutely no scripture saying that works resulted in salvation in the old covenant, but it does say works resulted in good for man. The Jews try to live that. It is not saving them, for works do not save, but they are using the ways of the Lord to achieve blessings.
