Wrong. Epistemology is the theory of knowledge; faith resides in a different realm, characterized by knowledge’s absence.

No. You are attempting a package deal here. You are trying to redefine a concept so that one particular epistemology is defined as epistemology. That is fallacious.

While some philosophies (including my own) reject faith as a means of knowledge, that does not mean all philosophies reject faith as a means of knowledge. Some philosophies hold that faith is the only means of actually attaining knowledge. One cannot simply pretend such philosophies don’t exist - that they do not claim faith is a means of knowledge.

Put simply, acknowledging that some philosophies hold faith to be their epistemology is not the same as evaluating that epistemology. You have tried to substitute the evaluation of an epistemology for the identification of an epistemology. That is a logical error.
