See also acoup.blog's series on Polytheism (https://acoup.blog/2019/10/25/collections-practical-polythei...). It's obviously not a direct analysis of Judaism, but the series discusses the idea of 'orthopraxis' (correct practice) as the relevant concept compared to the idea of 'orthodoxy' (correct belief). The latter, of course, is the central concept of modern Christianity. |

I'd say that "salvation by faith" is the central concept of Christianity, faith does not require knowledge per se, not in the way that belief requires knowledge.
"Even the devil believes [...]" as the author of the Epistle of James writes.
Christianity as revealed in Scripture is far less about rigid concepts.
On a side-note Catholicism demands significant orthopraxis, but that is heterodox wrt Scripture.
Your supposition requires a form of gnosticism that's really not Christian and is quite contrary to the Gospel IMO, heretical some would say/have said.
