It seems Noahic grace was a tad partial, saving some only.
The saving grace of JC seems to be salvation of the world.
Problem with Noah is he also died & rec'd not the promise.
Two of everything to sort out, til only one of everything?

To have respect of persons [is] not good: Proverbs 28
For there is no respect of persons with God: Romans 2
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons: James 2

Perhaps there are two LORDs in OT to sort out, one being Godly, one not.

I haven't seen a twist like this since "Lost" ended for the season.

Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
The grace spoken of here is God's grace. You can read it as Noah found favor with the lord. God's saving grace applies to His elect in the world.

Noah found grace based on his actions. He was willing to listen to and obey God. Even before this he had a life which adhered to the law written on our hearts. Only his family were willing to do this. To some extent, Noah had merited favor more than anyone else on earth at the time.
The grace of God to us (after the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ) is not based on us at all. This grace was given to us even before we were born. It is unmerited favor.

The Salvation of YHVH is a gift. He offers this marriage contract to everyone. To be the Bride of the Messiah is to take His name and obey His rules. He offered to save Noah (He did save Him from the flood--Whether Noah received Eternal life, I am not sure)

Sanctifying grace is an habitual gift, a stable and supernatural disposition that perfects the soul itself to enable it to live with God, to act by his love. Habitual grace, the permanent disposition to live and act in keeping with God's call, is distinguished from actual graces which refer to God's interventions, whether at the beginning of conversion or in the course of the work of sanctification.

No it is not the same. Noah can NOT save you from HELL. Only JESUS can do that.
