Will salvation happen only after learning complete knowledge?

[i]On the great road of Buddha ancestors, there is always unsurpassable practice, continuous and sustained. It forms the circle of the way and is never cut off. Between aspiration, practice, enlightenment, and nirvana, there is not a moments gap; continuous practice is the circle of the way[/i]
For Dogen, as Kosho Uchiyama Roshi has explained, "the Way is not simply one direction from starting point to goal; rather, the Way is like a circle. We arouse the enlightened mind moment by moment, we practice moment by moment, we become fully aware moment by moment, and we are in nirvana moment by moment. And we continue to do it ceaselessly. Our practice is perfect in each moment and yet we have a direction toward Buddha."

No..
Salvation comes to one when they have accepted the knowledge they need to accept to have salvation.. No human can know everything about God.. One would have to be a god like God to understand God 100%.. So no we do not have to have all knowledge to have salvation.. Actually the knowledge one needs to accept to have eternal life with God does not take long to learn..
