I do suspect that God will still apply the Scripture

HE THAT SEEKS ME SHALL FIND ME

even for earnest Jews--somehow.

I believe they will still have to repent, confess, accept Christ as their Savior; Jesus' Blood death, resurrection etc. I suspect God CAN arrange that at their points of death but I sure wouldn't want to build a doctrine on that personal belief of mine.

I believe that it can even be arranged AFTER they are dead, in fact.

But I totally reject the notion that Jews are special due simply to the fact of their birth. God is no respecter of persons.

The Lord arranged that Jewish saints who knew nothing of the gospel as we know it would be saved together with the Christian church. Jesus' transfiguration included Elijah and Moses, and He hadn't even died on the cross yet, much less been resurrected. It appears that at some point in their existence, whether on earth or under trans-mortal conditions, the Jewish saints come to explicitly understand who Jesus Christ is. That doesn't mean they shouldn't get a chance to hear the gospel now.
