While I hesitate to even place the Mormon name in the same sentence with muslim, I’m having a harder time seeing any Universal Judge coming down hard on any Jewish people.

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, than denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. (1 John 2:22,23)

Do "Jews" acknowledge that Jesus is the Christ? No.

I suspect those with good acts and souls won’t be doing any hard time.

No one is good, apart from God. (Matthew 19:17a) No one has kept the whole law. (James 2:10) Consequently, works are insufficient. There is no salvation and forgiveness of sins apart from Jesus Christ. He who trusts in his own works will come up short:

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth, and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them...And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which written in the books, according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast in the the lake of fire.(Revelation 20:11-15)

This is the fate of all unbelievers. But, God has graciously made a way for man to escape the punishment he deserves:

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcommeth (believeth on the Son--see 1 John 5:5) shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:6,7)

The unbelieving will have a hard time indeed.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake with burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8)

The biggest feature of existence is that infinity allows for any and every seemingly impossible and possible action and reaction to occur before, during and after it happens.

Forever and ever.
