QURAN 2:63 DOES NOT CONDEMN JEWS & THE SABIANS PROVIDED THEY BELIEVE ALLAH & LAST DAY

Quran 2:63, "Surely the Believers, and the Jews and the Sabians - whichever party from these truly believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds - shall have rewards with their Lord, and no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve?"

As the phrase, believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds, is mentioned in Quran 2:63 with the phrase, the Jews and the Sabians, it implies that those Jews and Sabians that believe in Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds will surely get their rewards during the Last Judgment Day.
