“What would be other evidence of sanctification?”
Fruit of the Spirit, humble and contrite heart, among others.
Galatians 2:20:”I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”
Sanctification is an inward work, a dying to self.
I don’t see good works as a “necessary” component in salvation either...but I think they are an important evidence of salvation - not always possible though (i.e. thief on the cross, deathbed conversions).
Help me out here, is the humble Spirit the laughing jackass picture or is that the contrite heart?
But I can't see into your heart. How would these things be manifest to others?

Under normal circumstances every believer will manifest good works.
