At the other extreme was the prostitute Rahab, whose faith was manifested in her handling of the Israeli spies. She knew what submission to Jehovah required and it meant treating the spies as her family. How hard is this to understand?
Can I point out the obvious? Genuine faith is demonstrable. Both Abraham and Rahab, as you said, were as far apart in their stations in life as you could get in their time, but God gave them an opportunity to act outwardly what they had inside themselves, and we're talking about them thousands of years later.
