I have Christian friends and acquaintances that believe all jews go to heaven because God "chose" them.
I ask them to read Acts 2, and think critically. Remember, that's not Peter talking. He and the other apostles were "filled with The Holy Spirit...the Spirit gave them utterance."
The Holy Spirit is God. He was speaking directly to the jews gathered for Pentecost.
In Acts 2:38, God tells everyone---jew and gentile alike---what they have to do to be saved. He doesn't say "Everyone has to do this, except for the jews, My Chosen People, who get a free ride."
(And why would any Christian want to be in the same "heaven" with people like Harvey Weinstein or Jeffrey Epstein?)
