How do you know it doesn’t mean someone just hasn’t had sufficient proof?
"When I use a word, it means just what I want it to mean." (Guess the source.)
I was using the term canonically, as its originator defined it.
Looks like you want “Proof” on matters which require faith not proof. Which puts you in a delima stuartcr. God says blessed is he who believes without seeing. There is plenty and more than enough evidence supporting the reality that God is who He says He is... and has done that which He says He has done and will do in the future. One will have great difficulty acquiring faith apart from believing the possibility of God....and faith will always come as one studies the scripture and asks God to reveal truth...He has never let me down in that respect.
