I see you have posted a longer post to me. I don't have time to answer that one now, but I will try later. However, for the short one.

Does a “renewed mind” know more of God than a mind that has not been so renewed?

Naturally. A renewed mind prays. Thus, such a person learns of God to some degree. I know you may not like this, but I have read that some spiritual writers have said that a person cannot be saved if they do not pray. Would you agree?

A better perspective is to acknowledge that a saved person will pray. A person who has been given faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior wants to obey God and be closer to Him, whereas the reprobate does not.

A renewed mind prays. Thus, such a person learns of God to some degree.

Scripture tells us it's the Holy Spirit who renews our mind. If the Holy Spirit renews a man's mind, then does the Holy Spirit renew some men's minds more than other men's minds?
