Well stated Mike. Here is a video that echo's your sentiments (see link).

I really appreciate the questions you're sending in. Another question is
simply will Jews go to heaven? I'd like to address that. Well, not
automatically. The scripture tells us that flesh and blood will not inherit
the Kingdom of God. You can't just get in just because you're a descendant
of Abraham or in the bloodline of Abraham. It's only those that be of faith
are blessed with faithful Abraham and those that be of Jesus Christ are the
same as the children of Abraham.
Scripture tells us that in Romans chapter 9 and in first Peter also, that I
lay in Zion, a stumbling stone, a rock of offense. Those who believe in Him
will not be put to shame, but many people will be because they stumble at
the stumbling stone, who is Christ Jesus. No, even Jews have to believe on
the Lord Jesus in order to get to heaven. You cannot get in through good
works. We're saved by grace through faith. It's not a works list, any man
should boast. You're not just getting in just because you're a Jew. Not
just getting in because you're a descendant in the lineage of Abraham. You
must be born again. You must have confessed Jesus Christ as Lord over your
life. The scripture tells us that even though the children of Israel are as
the sand of the seashore only a remnant will be saved. That remnant are
those who have given their lives to Christ. That's what it's all about.
So, Jews automatically do not get in. The Pope doesn't automatically get
in. The reverend, the bishop, the apostle prophet, evangelists, all of
these titles and handles and cliches, the doctor and all this, nobody gets
in except by way of confession of Jesus Christ as Lord over their life.
That's how you get in. Jesus is the only way. You can't do it; flesh and
blood will not inherit the Kingdom. You must go through Jesus Christ. Will
Jews go to heaven? Not automatically. Only if those Jews have confessed
Jesus Christ as Lord, then they're in.
