[Believer]

Only the church is Raptured. Every one else is left. Will there be saints and jews saved after the rapture? sure. But i dont understand how there would be only jews or no saints. ya lost me there.

I'm sort of lost too, again, this is not my belief, but what I have seen discussed.  That somehow the Jews are not part of the Church.   Yes, this confuses me because we know there are Jewish believers.  I was under the impression that there is no Jew or Gentile any longer, we are all one in Jesus, but that there are believers and unbelievers.   

I see it often that the Tribulation is only for the Jews because the Church is not mentioned in parts of Revelation.  A remnant will come to believe when they see Jesus, but will remain on the earth through God's wrath, although protected, because they weren't part of the Church at the Rapture.  These are not the Jews in the 'desert' protected by 'eagles wings', believing Jews, Israel.

I'm thinking this is a wording/definition problem.  For example, who are the Saints, who are the Church.  Are unbelievers saved during the Tribulation, then considered Saints and part of the Church?  Are they ever?

I don't mean to make this difficult, truly.
