You are projecting "Christian" theology onto Judaism

I guess I would be since I am Christian :)

Ok, let me rephrase that -- do you believe that when you die, you'll go to Heaven? What about a gentile Christian, a good one, one who has followed all of God's laws. Will that person also go to heaven?

Absolutely. In my commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians I point out however that some prominent sages of Judaism have not always said so, but even in the Second Century it was not unanimous. Notably Eliezer ben Hyrcanus, who said, "Gentiles have not part in the World to Come." However, in this issue he was in the minority.
