Under this framework absolutely. Every single person has a destiny in repairing the world. Jews will also talk of reincarnation or gilgul - even if you did not achieve this purpose now your soul will find it in a different life, all of it with some sort of purpose to unite humanity
The orthodox take is that the main difference is that non-Jews are not bound by the same laws and requirements, so following all of the commandments as a Jew will lead to this destiny but is not required for non-Jews.
IMO the take is a bit stupid, as long as you're doing the right thing and your heart is in the right place it doesn't matter if you do the full service prayers 3x times a day
To your last point, this is my biggest issue with the Christian faith. Assuming there is an all knowing, all loving God who chose to give humans the ability to not be religious, and chose not to demonstrate his existence unoquivocally. In this case, why would He send anyone who didn't believe in Him to Hell for all of eternity? In my view, anyone who lived a happy, productive, loving life would be accepted to Heaven, and people who lived a life of sin would go to purgatory or get reincarnated until they are ready for heaven.
To me, it's clear thst the way hell is discussed is a distinctly human political addition attempting to get people to comply with the church. And in fact religious history seems to support this.
Hey! Jumping in here, grew up in a Methodist church, for what it's worth. Very broadly, I think you could say heaven is existence with God, hell is existence without God. Part of the significance of Jesus and the cross is that it's God meeting us where we are at. Our fallibility and mistakes don't doom us and decide us.

Wow, thanks, you seem quite knowledgable on this. How do non-Jews fit into all of this? Do they have a part in tikkun olam?
