I'm sorry but you neither understand grafting nor what the passages says. It says the natural branches must be graft in. The Root is not Israel. The Root is Jesus the Christ.

Not keeping the Sabbath given only to Israel is not living like a heathen.

The Root is not Israel. The Root is Jesus the Christ.
That is why I said you are mixing parables.

The VINE of john 15.5 is Jesus.
The olive tree of Rom 11 is Israel. That is why Jews (including unbelieving Jews that are enemies against the gospel) are called "natural branches."
It says the natural branches must be graft in.
Yes - those that are broken off for unbelief.

The Root is not Israel, sorry. Besides Eph 2 says we are follow citizens with the saints - not Israel.

Yup. This is true. Just like Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches and the Father is the Vinedresser.

Abraham was blessed because he was obedient to God, so while he had faith, he has great works as well with his obedience.
He was made righteous by God because of his faith and that is also why he is the father of the faith. So neither great works or obedience is why God justified him.

Yeah they're so works oriented they missed the faith and declaration of righteousness.

Prove that scripturally. Specifically within the context of Rom. 11.
Israel is the original branches. Gentiles are the wild olive shoot that has been grafted in. God/Jesus is the olive root.

Romans 11:17-20
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.
