Default Is it ever proper to call 3rd street with a pair in Razz?

Twice tonight I had pocket As with a deuce up on 3rd street.

First time I raised to steal and took the pot on 5th due to a scary board (A A) 2 4 8

Second time someone raised in front of me and I decided to just fold instead of going for a resteal representing a big hand.

I guess the question could be expanded to any A2x hand where x is any face card or A. What do you do with hands like A2K?

Fold. You really need three cards to play for value. I'll snow with rolled aces, but that's only once every 5000 hands or so.

I think you just answered your own question. In some situations, yes - especially in steal situations or if hands behind you are bad, e.g., 9 s or bigger(assuming that you raise).

To answer the original question:
No, don't call with a pair ever. You either raise to steal with a low doorcard or fold (much more likely).
There may be some exceptions, but they are probably very rare and situational.
