    With regards to your salvation question, each person is judged separately
 and is remunerated in kind. If you abide by the laws set down in the Torah
 for gentiles, then you have fulfilled your obligation and will receive the
 proper reward. If, however, you do not obey the laws, then you will be held
 accountable for your actions.
