they believe in the same God, even read the same material (old testament)...
And in the Jewish faith, do Christians go to hell for "worshipping" (praying to, following) an "idol" (jesus)?

In the Jewish "faith" there is no hell. Everyone has a share in the world to come.
Heaven/hell doesn't come from Judaism. Jesus introduced that concept.

Well, i only know about Roman Catholism, and our Church has a deep respect for Jews because our religion originated from judaism. They wouldn't go to hell if they believe in God and are good people. The Roman Catholic Church feels that other religions aren't nessecarily wrong, but they don't have full revelation of who God is through Jesus. Sorry i can't answer your question about Christians going to hell by Jewish standards, but I'm no authority on Jews.

"Salvation came to the Jews first". I believe if the Jews worship God in Spirit and in truth they will go to heaven.
Christians (gentiles, not Jewish) must believe that God sent His only Son Jesus to die and be resurrected to glory for the atonement for sins.
After Christians are raptured God will open the eyes of the Jewish people and they will realize Jesus is the Messiah.
They are blinded to this fact today because God said they are a stiffnecked people (hard headed).

The Jews are God's chosen people. Unfortunately, they rejected Jesus. I have the utmost respect and good wishes for the Jewish people, but from a Christian perspective anyone who does not accept Jesus as Savior and Lord will not get to Heaven.
--BTW, nice way of trying to drive a wedge between Jews and Christians. But, from my perspective, Christians will always respect and support the Jews as God's people.

I would think that Jews would think Christians are likely to end up in Hell. That would be right by the Ten Commandments. I don't think Jews are going to hell though. My understanding is people with Faith will be Judged. So that to me means likely that all the other religions who believe in God have that chance. It is Christ's True Believers that will automatically go to Heaven. Their name will be in the Lamb's book of Life and they won't be subject to Judgement.

It is only through Jesus, but we do not presume to know that Christ does not reach the hearts of those ignorant of the Gospel. It is a mystery. But we still must spread the Gospel to all the earth.

No.
They are the chosen people. Always have been. Always will be.
No, I'm not Jewish and no, I have no problem with that.
Replacement theology is wrong.
Upon Christ's return the Jews seeing the Messiah, whom they rejected, will be devastated and there will be much mourning.
See Zechariah chapter 12.
Thay can either accept Him or reject Him, the same as the rest of us.

Christians who know Jesus may go to Heaven i'm not there Judge.
Jews who know Jesus may go to Heaven once again not there Judge.
Not all Jews discredit Jesus, a lot of them do believe in Him.
