Stuck on a couple. They seem simple but are driving me mad. Any help gratefully received.

15 A Dead keen - occasionally (4) E?E?
22 D Sign of saint erased from grand rectory's walls (6) ???U?Y
23A Faith mostly comes at the end (5) T???S

Thanks in advance.

15 could be EDEN, depending on what A is.

Sorry, you obviously mean A as across.

Yes, sorry, Brendan, I should have made that more clear

22d - AUGURY

Grand = AUGUST minus Saint = AUGU + R(ector)Y

23a - Faith mostly could be TRUS(t) + (come)S but I can't see how TRUSS connects with the other two answers, assumin they are the answers!

Found the puzzle online. There is a special instruction which states that certain clues “share an unstated definition”.
What connects Eden and Truss?

Here’s one of the other “special” clues…
28 Contrary girl lacking resistance (3)

Brilliant. Thank you so much, Brendan, I am certain you are correct although the TRUS[T] is a tad bothersome. ''S''being the last letters of COMES and TRUS is Faith, mostly. No recent PM connection I can see either. But many thanks.

The quite contrary MARY clue, Jono, removing R for another girl's name, I ''saw'' straight off.
