How does teshuvah earn OHB?  What did he *do* to earn it?  Where is
his life of torah and mitzvos?  Teshuva to get out of gehenom I
understand, but how does it earn OHB?  And yet for Rabbi Eliezer ben
Durdaia it worked, so much that he gets the title "Rabbi".

With proper teshuva teshuva zedonot become zechiot. The whole point of
the two stories of  Rabbi Eliezer ben Durdaia and the executioner of
R Chanah be Tradyon is that one can indeed get a complete olam habah
in one moment

<<  He saw his opportunity and offered RChbT a deal.>>

How does RChbT have the power to make such deals?
I find it clear that the olam habah was earned by jumping into the
fire and not just by removing
the wool from RChbT
