Doesn't seem to sqaure with what is written in Gallatians:
I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. |

Never heard of it. I would say that if a Jew could go his whole life, never sinning, never even once breaking a law, not even being born into original sin, He would be righteous and go to Heaven.

I think the Catholic perspective is that all salvation comes through Christ, because Christ opened the gates to heaven for all people. We believe that the normal path thought those gates is through belief and faith in Christ, but God's mercy could allow other paths through the Gates that Christ opened - it is not up to us to limit God's mercy.

This. But I would add, we don't know if they have a change after they leave this world. They will meet Jesus either way & there is know end to His Divine Mercy. |

Christ's own words on the subject are good enough for me:
John 10:9 "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. |

It isn't up to us...but there are also verses that say things like " the path is narrow" which would be a good case against universalism.

I tend to think that Paul's statements about "to the Jews and also to the Greek", and his essay about Abraham's faith, means both are under the same rule...faith.

Jesus's last words concerning Israel
Matthew 23:37-39 NKJV “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ” |
