Cyril: "Faith has two distinct meanings"

"FOR the name of faith is one in speech, but has two distinct meanings. For there is one kind of faith, dogmatic, involving an assent of the soul to some particular point. But there is a second kind of faith, which is bestowed by Christ as a gift of grace."

~St. Cyril of Jerusalem: Catechetical Discourses, 5, 10-11. (4th cent.)
