And also a subset of readers could think that Judaism is being put down, and that I am being put down for being a Jew, as Judaism is unable to grant a Jew to be saved, for the poster states to save myself first by converting to Christianity.

You wrote,[...IMO that wasn't {pressure} to {adapt}another faith or a {put down} of Judaism...]. (emphasis mine)
Your rule is to not post anything that could put down or accuse another or overgeneralize of jump to a conclusion about another ...and in matters of faith that means to not pressure another to adopt a different faith or put them down for having theirs...].
Now you say that it is{ your opinion} as to if something puts down or pressures. You also state here that you do not substitute your feelings for someone else's feelings in matters of feeling put down when they read something here. You also agree that if something puts down Jews, it is an anti-Semitic statement.
Now the generally accepted meaning of {put down} and {pressure} can be the determining factor here, when people read what is in The generally accepted meanings of what is in question could be seen forensically as in posts in the past practice here and compare those with {your opinion} as to if or if not {your opinion} is not in accordance with what your past practice shows as to what {pressure} or {put down} means. But it is much more than that. For if you are deviating in this case from your past practice, a subset of readers could think that you are attempting to accommodate the statements in question here as being conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of the community and supportive, which could also lead a subset of readers to think that you are in concert with the poster to allow what those readers could think what is not supportive and pressures a Jew to convert to Christianity in order to be saved. That could lead to a subset of Jews feeling put down and insulted on the basis that those readers could think that you are allowing the statement in question that says that Jews are not saved and need to convert to Christianity to be saved. This could then lead a subset of readers to think that you are attempting to foster anti-Semitism here by not sanctioning what could be seen by a subset of readers as Jews being put down and pressured to adopt the Christian perspective because you state that posts not sanctioned have what is in them statements that are not against your rules.
