The death of Christ satisfies the legal requirements of His having remitted and forgiven the sins of the O.T. saints. The blood of Christ declares the righteousness of God in forgiving sins, both in Old Testament times and now in the New.

Romans 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Couple of things,
In the sense of Revelation 13:8 is not Jesus the Lamb slain from the begining and not the future?
And when you say OT saints, are these supposed saints part of the church?
Do you reckon that the church is not an age but the purpose?
