Yes, I do know “Christians,” (not Catholic), who keep kosher and follow halachah.  They go to a “Messianic Synogogue.”  The father is from Israel, raised Orthodox, and “converted” when he met his wife who is Malaysian.  They live in the US with his parents who belong to the Chabad movement, at least that’s where grandpa prays.  I think grandma is less strict about it.  A lot of what the younger couple do is to keep the peace.  The children were being raised and taught both religions.  
My opinion, for what it’s worth, is that it’s okay to do things like eat kosher food or speak Yiddish, things that are mainly cultural, but to place any spiritual merit in Saturday observance or participate in rituals and prayers involving false (Christless or anti-Christ) worship is a mortal sin against Commandments 1-3.

I know a Trad man (and family?) that follows the Old Law dietary. He doesn't eat pork, for example.
He also tithes a strict 10%, as far as I know.

In his case, I'd say he's probably just very ignorant and/or simple minded. God will judge of course, but I get the feeling he's innocent of any malicious heresy. He doesn't ever push it on others, for example.

Here  is what St Justin had to say about Sunday worship;
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]And we afterwards continually remind each other of these things. And the [/color]wealthy[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] among us help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son [/color]Jesus Christ[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)], and through the [/color]Holy Ghost[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]. And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the [/color]apostles[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] or the writings of the [/color]prophets[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] are read, as long as time permits; then, when the reader has ceased, the president verbally instructs, and exhorts to the imitation of these [/color]good[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] things. Then we all rise together and [/color]pray[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)], and, as we before said, when our [/color]prayer[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] is ended, bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers [/color]prayers[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] and thanksgivings, according to his ability, and the people assent, saying [/color]Amen[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]; and there is a distribution to each, and a participation of that over which thanks have been given, and to those who are absent a portion is sent by the [/color]deacons[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]. And they who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the [/color]orphans[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] and [/color]widows[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] and those who, through sickness or any other [/color]cause[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)], are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need. But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which [/color]God[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)], having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and [/color]Jesus Christ[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] our Saviour on the same day rose from the dead. For He was crucified on the day before that of Saturn (Saturday); and on the day after that of Saturn, which is the day of the Sun, having appeared to His [/color]apostles[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] and [/color]disciples[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)], He taught them these things, which we have submitted to you also for your consideration.[/color]

I find it difficult to hope for the salvation of those men who don't enjoy bacon. :laugh1:

It is the most delicious meat in the world.
