I trust you understand that Orthodox never joined Melanchthon's Protest and that they were Catholic for a full millennium until a schism that Rome apologized for in 1965.
The statement of Nostra Aetate is the commonsense "What happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today." Well, that's basic rejection of collectivism, which I've been explaining here for 5 years without reference to that model. I also added that those who did call for his death were the same group of whom about 2,000 immediately repented in Acts 3-4, so that really breaks up the curse. However, since I do believe there are many national blessings and cursings in the Bible on many nations, it's appropriate to speak of there being a particular national curse invoked by the Jews just as they also partake of certain national blessings; this does not permit prejudicing any individual (such as with the language "you kind"), it merely speaks of demographic likelihoods. You and u/SmithW1984 are using words like "jew" and "jesuit" to mean "person who disagrees with me". I do not think it means what you think it means.
You are free to try to lay out evidence of my shape shifting and what I should do differently in my sole witness for Jesus alone.
This is a red herring. The sin of the Jews was never that they collectively killed Christ, it's that they, definitionally, reject Christ's sacrifice and so turn from God. They are forsaken, every single self-professed Jew, because of belief, not action. They were the first to hear the Good Word and they deliberately turned their back on it, and have continued to do so for thousands of years.
First, you mean rabbinical Jews, because a Lifeway survey estimated there are a million Messianic (Christian) Jews.
Second, I ask people for proof that some congregational rabbi or rabbinical organization teaches, as a tenet of Judaism, that Jesus's sacrifice is rejected. They don't actually do it because they're too scared, they leave the rejection to folk religion and to antimissionaries but they don't make it a tenet of rabbinical Judaism because they know what would happen if they did. So I decline the statement that rabbinical Judaism definitionally rejects Jesus Christ's sacrifice, and ask for proof. In fact, rabbinical Judaism teaches that it's a valid view that the Christ must suffer and that this suffering is somehow redemptive for his people; but they refuse to apply that the way Christianity does, and so they do not get the spiritual benefit of salvation from it.
