The first part is not true, but the second part is. To preface, I understand why you (and many others) say that, but I also understand why it is wrong.
Jesus was not a jew in the sense that one would understand it today. Jesus's faith never changed. He wasn't a jew in life and a Christian in death. There was one faith before and after, it was only fully revealed after Jesus's death/resurrection.
The fullness of the faith of the children of Abraham was fully revealed at the coming of their messiah. Many jews followed their messiah and became known by another name. Many other jews followed a different emergent faith that henceforth was known as judaism - it continues to this day and is known by talmud, torah, zohar and its other fundamental works.
This brings us to today and to the point of the author above - no, there is no such thing as judeo-christianity. If Christianity is the one true faith, then it is the faith of Abraham, as described in the bible. Prior to the messiah's coming, it was practiced similarly to what the Jews practice today, but it was not a different faith, it was at a different point in the revelation of the fullness of the faith.
Judeo-Christianity is no more real than Islamo-Christianity, but hopefully we'll see a lot more jews and islamists come to know Christ in the times ahead.
You can't have Christianity with out Judaism. Every True believer and follower is a child of Abraham
