: "Kol yisrael yesh lahem chelek laolam haba, shenemar, "v'amech kulam
: tzaddikim..."."

Which the Rambam says isn't all Jews. "Yisrael" here means those who
believe the iqarim. Which is why he lists the iqarim in his introduction
to Pereq Cheileq (Sanhedrin pereq 11 or 12, depending on edition).

Someone who doesn't believe the iqarim has no guaranteed cheileq le'olam
haba. He also is an apiqoreis, kofeir or min WRT halakhos specific to
the community of believers, such as drinking the wine they touched. Same
community of "Yisrael" in both these dinim and "cheileq le'olam haba".

Tir'u baTov!
