Any hint of salvation in this verse?
Sure. Verse 6 certainly hints at salvation. If you go back to Romans 2:28-29 we see what Paul meant when he said "For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel"

Romans 2:28-29
For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God
