I never used that phrase, so I don't know who you're quoting.

I mean simply the way the use of the word has evolved. I believe people used to have a better grasp of faith as I describe it, whereas now people equate it with belief, and have lost the concept of faith. I could be wrong - I haven't studied that historical question in detail.

For example, the Bible quotes Jesus as saying if you have but the faith of a mustard seed... He doesn't say belief. Jesus very well understood the power of faith, versus the limitations of belief (regardless of what words he actually used).

Now I don't know how all of that wording is affected by translations and such. It's just an example that comes to mind.
