Belief is the condition

No, Mr. Rogers, a belief is a willing acceptance of something on faith (trust) alone.

k50: “a belief is a willing acceptance of something on faith (trust) alone.”

Faith: “1 confidence or trust in a person or thing; 2 belief that is not based on proof”

Faith is defined as one person trusting (believing, having confidence in) something or someone else. Faith is used to describe belief in someone or something, so belief generates faith.
