Abraham received the promise by his faith. His descendants inherit it by virtue of being his descendants. Gentiles become adopted sons through faith. Jews possess this inheritance by natural right.

I would point out that there is a difference between the physical land of Israel and the Kingdom of Heaven.

The right to the former and the gift of the admission to the latter are not identical. The former comes through descent, the latter by faith.

So there is a dual covenant. Sons of Abraham by blood, as approved by rabbis, inherit the land while sons of Abraham by faith, Christians, inherit Heaven. This as Catholic teaching?
