There is already a good word for what you're probably referring to: confidence.
The trouble with the term 'faith' is of a bait and switch. After initially declaring "you just need to have faith" you will next hear "don't you have faith in your wife / husband / the chair you're about to sit on / that your car will start?"
The former is [blind] faith, the latter is confidence, and this interlocutor is equivocating the two, whether knowingly or not.
