Maybe a similar kind of story will help.
One day Joe witnesses a bank robbery. He sees the robber in a white shirt running away from the bank.
During the next few years, some people around Joe give him some misinformation about the bank robbery. They tell him that the bank robber was wearing a red shirt.
After a while, Joe becomes convinced that the robber was wearing a red shirt.
Then a psychologist comes to interview Joe. He strongly suspects Joe's memory has been tampered with. He asks Joe what color the robber's shirt was, and Joe says it was red.
Some people then said that because Joe was wrong about the color of the shirt, that he could not have witnessed the robbery. But the psychologist knows that people have been feeding misinformation to Joe, so Joe being wrong about the shirt doesn't mean that he didn't witness the robbery.
Can you follow how that corresponds to what Muslims say about the God they worship?

Coming to Jesus is the same as being saved, I think.
I think this is an interesting verse
2 Peter 3: 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
I think it shows that even after we become Christians, we continue to grow in the knowledge of Jesus. Does this mean that we cannot worship God while we are growing? I don't think so!
So I think a person can worship God and still be growing in knowledge about God.
