Hello and welcome to TAW.Early "Christians" didn't, but the early sect of the Natsarim did...until expelled as traitors...as far as I know.
because Christianity is fulfilled Judaism.
they left because they were kicked out, and because Judaizing was a terrible heresy.

Even before the expulsion of Christians from synagogues around 95 or so, Christians would still meet in the wee hours of the morning on Sunday to celebrate the Eucharist.*You are in the Orthodox Forum*

If they weren't kicked out, would it had been permissible to remain there? Because Paul went to synagogues after converting, and he still went to the temple.because Christianity is fulfilled Judaism.

Why would they continue going to the temple?probably, only that the Temple wouldn't have been the only area for sacrifice.

Can you quote that in dialogue with trypho? I don't remember that. I remember him (scandalously!) speculating it was perhaps possible for pious Jews to be saved without being Christians.Now if you read Justin Martyr Dialogue with Trypho, He seems to suggest that there were still Jews who remained in the Synagogue and confessed Christ but had little contact with Christians. These people over time simply re-assimilated into the mainstream judaism of the synagogues.

Those who "do not associate" sound like Jews who are not cut off from the Church geographically, but rather refuse to associate with Gentiles due to old prejudices. But thanks for the citation.Yes it is in chapter 47 of his dialogue with Trypho, he seems to say Judaizing Christian's can be saved and the reason they are judaizers is influence from actual Jews who still Confess Christ but have little contact with actual christians :
. ...But if, Trypho, some of your race, who say they believe in this Christ, compel those Gentiles who believe in this Christ to live in all respects according to the law given by Moses, or choose not to associate so intimately with them, I in like manner do not approve of them. But I believe that even those, who have been persuaded by them to observe the legal dispensation along with their confession of God in Christ, shall probably be saved..
