What in the story leads you to think that Christ's garment brought her faith to fruition? Her faith told her that it would work.

Well, she wasn't cured before she touched the hem of his garment. The action followed the faith, it didn't precede it.

That's true, but I think we might be talking about two different types of actions. Alex said: "Christ's garment ... has made her faith complete to fruition." I took that to mean that the action we are talking about (completion to fruition) would have been on the woman's faith, not her medical condition. But I may have misinterpreted.
