Please expound on this so I know exactly what you mean
You've expounded that the kinghood and priesthood and a holy nation calling are only for the believing Jews, right?

And likewise expounded, they shall reign with Christ in Heaven for a thousand years, right?

To Peter who's writing to them, they're no strangers in Christ but fellow brethren.

Only they're referred as, 'to the strangers scattered', when Peter yet have not met and acquainted with these believers.
Some say the strangers are Gentiles but I say Peter is writing to the believing remnant of Israel which could include Gentiles who believed the preaching of Peter.....he is not writing to the church the body of Christ

Yes the believing remnant of Israel will be priests and a holy nation......Gentiles can believe according to Acts 10 and be in the remnant.....but I dont know what role believing Gentiles will have in the kingdom
No they wont reign with Christ in heaven (the body of Christ will) they will reign on earth with Christ for a thousand years
