Shein: No. Both who are “Toheh Al Harishonim” lose all credit. You are probably thinking of the Tosfos (Rosh Hashana 5a if I recall correctly) that says that a Goy who does something Shelo Lishmah (meaning Al M’nas Sheyichyeh B’ni or something like that) doesn’t receive credit for it because presumably he will regret having done the Mitzvah, while a Jew will probably not regret it even if his reason doesn’t come true. (But Pashtus is that this is not a hard and fast rule. Pashtus is that a Goy who does not regret it still receives credit.)
