Basic answer is that Jews are descendants of Judah (4th son of Israel) while Christians are followers of Jesus Christ and have the opportunity to become spiritual children of God (as does all mankind) see 2 Corinthians 6:18, etals.

It is possible for someone born Jewish to be Christian. They are commonly called Messianic Jews. Conversely, it is possible for someone being a Christian to become Jewish by marriage or having a Jewish mother.

Answer:

People do not fall into one of two options (Jewish or Christian). There are a vast number of viable alternate religions that they may belong to.
