That's all there is

Belief is the thought that that something is true although it may or may not be true

"I believe that the sky is blue"

Trust is the act where you extend a belief from a specific instance but a general quality possessed by an object

"I trust my eyes (to perceive the world around me accurately)"

Faith is the possessed ability to trust in a general quality possessed by an object

"I have faith in empirical observation (as a reliable and at the very least, safe, way of deriving knowledge)"
