If you are under the new covenant you are certainly a child of Israel Terry. That is who the new covenant is with:

That Doug was the problem addressed in Acts 15, and Galations Doug.

Deu 7:6 For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth.

Deu 7:7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of all people:

Deu 7:8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

God never considered the gentile nations a part of Israel in the OT.

Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

And who was the book of HEBREWS written to? This is a teaching to the Jewish Christians , this is not about the Gentiles being tied to the Old Covenant laws .

When Moses was told to tell Israel to celebrate the holy days the message was to Israel not Gentiles. Now Hebrews teaches that the New Covenant supersedes the old covenant of levitical laws and mandatory holy days

So your answer is that you are not under the new covenant? Or you don't believe that you are part of Judah or Israel? Unless God lies in both the old and new testaments then you must be Israel or Judah....right?
