What you are observing can be termed that the Gentile is saved by Grace, via Faith, while the Jew is saved by Faith, via Grace. |

There is some truth to this.
Another problem is one of language. Generally speaking, classical Christian arguments come from the Greek translation of the Tanakh where Jewish arguments come from the Hebrew. In this thread, you have also seen people relying on the English translation to make points, myself included. It is sort of a bad premise.
