I'm surprised you would object to the term "confession" which is quite literally a declaration. It could be a declaration of faith, disbelief, guilt or whatever.

The term confessionem is translated "confession" from the Latin Vulgate.

"Belief" and "religion" are off the table because atheists and agnostics must be treated with an even hand and they do not believe or mostly do not believe.

So by all means, let the posters here propose a term that would represent a collective of like minded individuals on the Religion Forum who should be treated with an even hand to other such collectives of like minded individuals.

What if it's laid out as Catholic Catechesis-Subject?

Scripture, Tradition, Magisterium, Catechism Reference to start and go from there.

That way it could clear up teachings for Catholics and others would know the purpose.

Confessions of Faith

Advanced Information

Variations on the term "confession" are found in the NT (e.g., I Tim. 3:16; 6:13). In the early church the word was used to describe the testimony of martyrs as they were about to meet their deaths. Its most common usage, however, designates the formal statements of Christian faith written by Protestants since the earliest days of the Reformation. As such, "confessions" are closely related to several other kinds of brief, authoritative summations of belief. The term "creed" most frequently refers to statements from the early church which Christians in all times and places have recognized, the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Definition of Chalcedon, and (less frequently) the Athanasian Creed.
