Asked in Judaism
In Judaism what is the outcome for believers?

Judaism teaches that the righteous of all faiths will reach 'gan
eden', or 'garden of eden'. Some souls first go to a type of
purgatory, for 'purification', but this lasts for only a maximum of
one year. There is no 'hell' in Judaism.

What is the difference between pagan and afro Caribbeans?

Pagan is a "catch all" or "umbrella" term commonly used to
identify people of a religious background other than Christianity,
Judaism, and Islam. Afro-Caribbean practice is speaking about the
practices of Afro-Caribbean people or the people themselves who
inhabit the Caribbean islands whom to some can be grouped in under
the "Pagan" umbrella term when they are not part of an Abrahamic
faith.
