2 Timothy warns against quarreling over words. So I shall not quarrel with you about the 144,000 lest I cause another to stumble.
Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
I hope that saying I do not understand your conclusion is not argumentative. Revelation 14 says that the 144,000 are virgins purchased as firstfruits and offered to God. I don’t see how they could be Jews saved during the tribulation. (And my salvation does not depend on an explantion though you are free to share one.)
Rev. 14:3-4 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.

Obviously they cannot be Jews, since they represent the entire nation of Israel, not just Judah.
Less than 1% of genetic Israel are Jews.
