What are dead works?

Hebrews 6:1
…repentance from dead works…

Thks
The 'Lord, Lord' works done Without "repentance and faith"?:

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that​
doeth The Will of My Father Which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,​
have we not prophesied in Thy Name? and in Thy Name have cast out devils? and in Thy Name​
done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I Never Knew you: depart​
from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:21-23 AV) ​

And, precious friend(s), Please Be Very Richly Encouraged and Edified
In The Lord Jesus Christ and In His Precious Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided:

The Bible: The BIG Picture


Amen.

Hebrews 6:1

Hebrews 6:1 refers and appeals to noting the times, as being past the foundation laid by Israel, and even past the basic or elementary principles of Christ. As a way of saying, that knowing where we are in the greater plan of God, we ought not dwell or stop there, but press on to what God has in store, and the very purpose of why those former things were established and brought into being and to pass. That they were brought to pass--not to remain in, as if to build the foundation of a house and not actually continue on to build the upper structure.

A matter that the church has mostly failed in.
