Keeping the 10 commandments, and indeed the Law, means as under the New Covenant, in which the Holy Spirit distinguishes btwn universal transcendent moral laws and the typological ceremonial laws relating to physical diet, external cleanness and temple ritual, "Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation." (Hebrews 9:10) "Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [which made the shadow] is of Christ." (Colossians 2:17)

And i have already spent much time on FR refuting those who impose ceremonial laws before, in which you found offense .

Thus believers look to Christ as the supreme standard, and thus obey Him under the new covenant He instituted with His own sinless shed blood, and neither commit adultery nor require circumcision, (cf. 1Cor. 7:18; Gal. 2:3) or remain unclean until the evening every time they have marital relations. (cf. Heb. 13:4) But they are to fulfill the holy intent of such (which requires keeping the full extent of the moral law in heart and deed, as well as the intent of the ceremonial), so "That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." (Romans 8:4)

As regards Israel I have supplied some of these CCC citations before , and that is why i questioned the way some RCs talk as if Catholic teaching does not hold Jews as a special distinct people, and also referred to as Israel, for which God will do a special work of grace. Which relates to the Tribulation.

674 The glorious Messiah's coming is suspended at every moment of history until his recognition by "all Israel", for "a hardening has come upon part of Israel" in their "unbelief" toward Jesus.569 [ Rom 11:20-26; cf. Mt 23:39.]

"For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?"571[The "full inclusion" of the Jews in the Messiah's salvation, in the wake of "the full number of the Gentiles",572 will enable the People of God to achieve "the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ", in which "God may be all in all".573

675 Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers.574 The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth575 will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.576 -http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p1s2c2a7.htm

1 John 3:21-24

beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God. and we receive from him whatever we ask, because WE KEEP HIS COMMANDEMENTS and do what please him. AND THIS IS HIS COMMANDMENT, that we should believe in the name of his son Jesus Christ and love one another as he has commanded us. all who keep his commandments abide in him and he in them. and by this we that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.

we don’t keep the 10 commandments, we obey the commandment to believe in Jesus Christ and love one another. now, in doing that, one would be keeping the 10 commandments, except keeping the 7th day Sabbath. but that is a WHOLE different subject for another day.
