Jews in heaven


Question from MF on 2/3/2008:  
What is the teaching of the Church on whether or not Jews can go to heaven?
Answer by Catholic Answers on 2/4/2008: 
M.F.--

The same as its teaching on the possibility of salvation for any non-Catholic or non-Christian: If the person does the best he can to do God's will according to the knowledge of God's will that he has, it is possible that he can be saved. All things being equal though, it is easier for Catholics to get to heaven because Catholics have access to the fullness of God's revelation and to all of the sacraments, which are the normative means by which God dispenses the graces necessary to get to heaven.
