Salvation is from the Jews, according to the Gospel of John.

You could see it that way, yet not all orthodox jews are denied salvation.

So, hopefully we need not return to the possible confusion of Jew and Pharisee. Both are jew, but both are not Pharisee. If Kant had ever been our guide we could pick up from one of his elementary prolegomena,

Wenn man eine Erkenntniß als Wissenschaft darstellen will, so muß man zuvor das Unterscheidende, was sie mit keiner andern gemein hat, und was ihr also eigenthümlich ist, genau bestimmen können
And if that can't be done with a simple distinction between Jew and Pharisee, we too will be tempted with a misologia while bumbling about trying to distinguish the several kinds of law --more than 2 by St. Paul--not to mention the tax on all our patience when posters, in their failed disinterestedness, make statements about one to apply to the other.
