If Enock and Elijah did not die, does this mean that they are with Jesus and Mary in their bodies?
 
They are believed to be in Paradise, similar to that of what Adam and Eve where in before the fall.

Do you have any official documents showing this? I am curious because I never knew the answer to the OP’s question either.

I have read that many believe that Revelation Chapter 11 reveals them as the two witnesses. V- 7=12: And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them, and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those that dwell on the earth. But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. They heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up hitter!” And in the sight of their foes they went up to heaven in a cloud.

Now that they have died, they may enter heaven. Is this Catholic teaching - No. But it makes a lot of sense to me. Catholic teachings is that Mary was the only one “Body and Soul” to enter heaven, as I recall. Also, Original Sin requires that all must die, except those that remain on earth when Christ returns.
