We go by the Biblical definition of faith, that being found in Hebrews 11:1 where when Catholics refer to faith, or THE faith, they mean the Catholic belief system.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
So when they say they are in the faith, that means to them that they are actively practicing Catholics, not that they believe God's promises as found in Scripture and are trusting HIM for their salvation.

This seems to be the case for some RC members who have posted here in times recent and past...and I have understood that.
The RCC has supplanted Jesus Christ and excluded him in Spirit while proclaiming, presumptively, another perpetual victim (dead) Jesus on the crucifix in their abominable rituals that have origins deep in human history.
Many Roman catholics are mindlessly trapped by their church's philosophy which makes many unprovable and anti-Scriptural (blasphemous) claims of RCC usurpation of God's authority and they will defend it to someone's death, as do muslims and other sects.
Today is a good day for everyone prayerfully and humbly reading the New Testament books.
