The only way for anyone to get saved is to believe that Jesus, who is God, died for our their sins on the cross, and rose again.
The salvation plan is the same for Jews and Gentiles. All people who believe Jesus, go to heaven. All people who reject Him to their dying breath, go to hell for eternity.

The concept of requiring salvation is a Christian concept and has no place in Judaism.
As is the case, the Jewish belief says that if Gentiles follow the 7 Noachide laws then they will also get a share in the World to Come.

Okay.
First, there is no concept of being "saved" in Judaism. We do not believe in original sin. We believe that it was a concept made up by the Church to scare people into converting. We do not need to be "saved" from our sins--only forgiven.
Second--Judaism is not a race. Anyone can convert as long as you believe in the tenets of Judaism. But that doesn't really matter, since Judaism also believes that you don't have to be Jewish to get to Gan Eden (garden of Eden....heaven.) You just have to be a good person. You can be any religion. Being Jewish just means having to follow more rules to get to heaven. So, gentiles already merit heaven. You don't have to be Jewish.
Third. Messiah is not supposed to save us from our sins because, as I already said, we have no need to be "saved" from them. The only way we can be forgiven is if we ask the person we hurt for forgiveness--for instance, if you were rude to your neighbor, you can't ask G-d to forgive you for being rude to your neighbor, for only your neighbor can forgive you...
So. G-d does not have a plan of salvation for the gentiles because He does not have a plan of salvation for anyone because we do not need salvation to get to heaven; only to live good lives.
I hope I have answered your question--if I haven't, you are more than welcome to email me.

Gentiles are saved through Jesus Christ.
Acts ch13 vs 46-48
Then Paul and Barnabas answered them (Jews) boldly. "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. For this is what the Lord has commanded us":
"I have made you a light for the Gentiles
That you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth"
The jews still look for a Messiah to come but in reality he came 2000yrs ago. They will not accept that they put the Son of God (their saviour) to death on the cross.
To answer your question
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
Jews and Gentiles.

How do Gentiles get saved? Same way the Jews get saved. Through Yeshua Jesus Christ, the Messiah who fulfills all prophecy and who was rejected by the majority of Jews just as the scriptures foretold, but who came and will come again to collect those who love God unto himself.

Dear ki,
God has only 1 salvation plan. The Bible tells us in Acts 10:34-35, "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him."
If you are interested in God's salvation plan, see my sources below.

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
This is taken from the first chapter of the book of Romans. A beautiful book where Paul addresses this very concern of yours. I would urge you to read it...also remember that God is the God of both Jew and Gentile alike. His love holds no boundaries. Jesus' death atoned for ALL sin....through His death and beautiful resurrection He paved the way for ALL people to come back under the grace of God.
I pray this helps you out bro..Take Care man
-Thanks for your comment spike!

you can start with isaiah 56:6-8
Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the L-RD, to serve him, and to love the name of the L-RD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.The Lord G-D which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
There is much more.
There was always a way, according to the Jewish scriptures for gentiles to be "saved" as you put it.

Jesus died for the sins of ALL, Jews and Gentiles. The plan of salvation is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, confess and ask forgiveness for your sins, and try to live as He would want you to.
