I did.

And if I may add anything, originally faith concerned the interaction with the divine. Faith generalized concerns interaction with any agency. All action is interaction, and faith would be one of the four aspects singled out in the active and passive aspects of two agents in proximity (total of 4 considerations).

The big mistake of rationalism is that it fails to respect the non-contingent independence of another's agency. Not eloquent, I know, but I think it's true and important for "the meaning of life." No faith, no sovereignty. And BTW, you also have a way of writing well.
