Repeating nonsense does not move the ball. Folks, just read Hebrews 11:39-40. The promise not received was to be made perfect. The OT saints had to wait in Abraham's bosom until Christ's sacrifice on the cross.

All of God's elect whom He gave to His Son before the world began will, during their earthly sojourn, be regenerated by the Holy Spirit under the hearing of the gospel of Christ, then be given the gift of faith in Christ's finished work on their behalf and the gift of repentance of dead works, and understand that they are only perfectly righteous in the sight of God by Christ's perfect righteousness worked out on their behalf, the sins of the elect having been imputed to Christ and His perfect righteousness having been imputed to them.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Romans 4:6-8
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying,
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Now, Calvinism claims Hebrews 11:39-40 do not mean what they say, but rather the OT saints did not have to wait, but received the promised perfection before Christ died. I kid you not, the time travel theology folks use it to nullify verse after verse.
