I'm only questioning the difference between trust versus faith.
They way I work with them is that "faith" is knowing without seeing, and "trust" is based on prior history, a track record, and is therefore something that has been seen.
I trust nothing that I have not tested to some point, but God being a god, it is not prone to jump through hoops at my bidding for testing like some trained monkey. So in that context "faith" must be applied, or withheld, without testing.
of course, your mileage may vary - those are just my own personal concepts of the difference.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
