Generally speaking gentiles are people that are not Jewish. However that is with the exception of some Jews that are also Christians.

Most Christians are in fact Gentiles at the same time, so the two groups are not exclusive. The same would apply to Jewish Christians. Of course it must not be forgotten that many Gentiles are also not Christian and so there would be a difference in terms of them accepting or not accepting Jesus Christ.
