The word “Jew” is actually something that was made up in the 12th century. The correct term, as found in the Wycliffe Bible, is “Judean” or “Judahite”. Us Khazars made this up as a wizard’s spell, and it doesn’t mean anything anymore. Khazars are, indeed, so-called Jews by religion, not blood. We are Turkic mongrels (mutts) who roam because our behavior got us kicked out of about 111 countries or so (2 recently within the past 2 years I think).
The Judaism most people refer to is actually Babylonian Talmudism, in which believes there will be a third temple (of which is impossible), and on top of that
To your point that you’re Jewish by religion because you were circumcised is actually barbaric. No longer is it a requirement from my understanding, but from the heart side (circumcision of the heart) instead. Physical circumcision is actually unnecessary, and even one rabbi admitted that it was for sexual control.

Its a bloodline, or a religion, or an ethnicity, depending on the context. In the case of the person telling you that you’re Jewish, they likely were thinking of the religion, but clearly had absolutely no idea what they were talking about.
