You have done well Grasshopper! Saddha is often contradictory and confusing to me. Just search on this term and see what is says about faith.
Also I have heard that "seeking the truth" is a key point in Buddhism. My problem is the truth I may find is not the truth someone else may find. Therefore, it really isn't truth.
I love this question: Do you believe that what you believe is really real?
The best thing I have learned from Buddhism is mindfulness. I've missed out on this most of my life. Wished I had understood this many many moons ago.
